Ashok,
You are mebarking on a very in depth subject and I wish you well. There is an enormous amount of information out there.
Piping Stress Analysis is nowadays performed using software packages. There is a great deal of information provided on the sites of www.pipepak.com, www.coade.com and www.autopipe.com & others. Do a Google search on the subject and you will find many enries. But there wwere the days when charts were used to determine the flexibility. The computer does the maths more quickly but the old technical handbooks and literature made you understand the subject. There are no sort cuts. Dont think that by being able to use a software package that you will get the right answer.
Also companies who manufacture spring hangars and constant load supports generally have software and literature that explans why one support is chosen over another, how a spring hangar works, why use sway bracesetc, etc. Try Lisega, Carpenter & Paterson, Grinnell, Power Plant etc. This is an integral part of the subject.
Books worth seeking out although many are probably out of print are by Tube Turns, MW Kellogg, Spiel Vogel. Try the US Navy websites where you may find information. Try the Bechtel site where they have a number of papers publish.
The new title by Brecht on ASmE B31.3 is worth a read. Publications by WRC cover great deal of design issues. The standardss such as ASME B31.1,B31.3,B31.4 & B31.8, AS 4041, BS 806 all have information on the topic.
Best of Luck.
