i know something about piping stress analysis, most of which isn't suitable for a master's degree project for the simple reason that it isn't research--people do it every day. Talk to your advisor and get some serious suggestions for original work. One more routine stress analysis tarted up as 'research' is a drug on the market--of no use to anyone. you should be doing something that'll look good on a resume.

One thing I am wondering--how could you possibly be considering a project in an area that you don't know the first thing about?
