TY - JOUR A1 - Koch, Frank A1 - Ballheimer, Viktor A1 - Zeisler, Peter T1 - BAM guideline draft for lid and trunnion systems: contents, structure, compatibility and use N2 - The Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) intends to provide a new guideline for the analysis and assessment of lid and trunnion systems. This guideline is discussed in the present paper with respect to its contents and structure, its compatibility with other guidelines and selective technical issues to demonstrate its use. Particularly, the motivation, the principles and the background of the guideline are addressed. Therefore, the present paper discusses current conclusions drawn from experimental results and the wide use of advanced analysis methods such as finite element analysis as well as the incorporation of these aspects in the guideline draft.
