ABSTRACT
In this paper, an evaluation of distribution of strains and stresses and a warping effect are determined throughout a tubular pipe conveyor due to the geometry and local effects by the finite element method (FEM) [1, 5]. The non-linearity is due to the ‘contact problems’ that governs the phenomenon. Finally the forces and moments are determined on the different elements of the tubular pipe conveyor, given place to the conclusions that are exposed in this study.
