Abstract

Advancement of technologies in the world, such that the Oil and Gas Industry, it is quite hard, and it is very competitive in assuring which is the best tools or devices use to solve any solution as in consideration of cutting time and budget to get a good and accurate result. Stress analysis is of the fundamental problems that can cause a failure or a fatal and hazardous results if it is not counter or study deeply. Asset management is becoming more important in boosting operational efficiencies because of increased competition and tighter margins within oil and gas companies. To shield themselves from economic uncertainty and enhance long-term profitability, modern oil and gas facilities are being built on a bigger scale than before, with higher production and storage capabilities. For initiatives like this, a welldesigned asset management strategy becomes even more crucial in attaining their ultimate goals. The objective of this study is that to design a tool use in analysing stress in the HVAC system, to study the importance of stress analysis on its effect towards the behaviour of the material and defects and to investigate the finite element analysis method on the parts and component of HVAC. This is because of the condition and the environment of the working condition in oil and gas is quite complicated and dangerous. By studying the non-traditional ways of doing and inspection on the structure, by applying a finite element analysis through modelling, it can save much more time and cost in implementing it on the asset maintenance. In this study, Autodesk Inventor Professional 2020 is used as the software to determine the analysis of stress. Furthermore, the usage of the finite element modelling bring much more efficacy from the perspective of cost and time because it does not any real physical model of testing parts and it can show directly on how the stress works onto the structure. Besides that, Internet of Things has become a sensation medium in many of the current industry. Thus, this thesis also going through on the IoT which will be synergise with the applications of FEA in monitoring displacement of a structure.
