Burst Pressure Prediction of Pressure Vessel using FEA
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main objective of this paper is to propose various types of Finite Element Methods used for the calculation of burst strength of pressure vessel. The pressure at which the pressure vessel should burst if all of the specified design tolerances are at their minimum values is called burst pressure. Prediction of burst strength is the very important aspect in the pressure vessel design. The present study mainly focuses on various types of factors which tremendously affect the burst strength of pressure vessel. FEA is a very powerful tool used to determine burst strength of pressure vessel. Axi-symmetric FEA is carried out to accurately predict the burst strength of a thin cylindrical pressure vessel.

متن کاملA Semi-analytical Approach to Elastic-plastic Stress Analysis of FGM Pressure Vessels
An analytical method for predicting elastic–plastic stress distribution in a cylindrical pressure vessel has been presented. The vessel material was a ceramic/metal functionally graded material, i.e. a particle–reinforcement composite. It was assumed that the material’s plastic deformation follows an isotropic strain-hardening rule based on the von-Mises yield criterion, and that the vessel was...
متن کاملFailure pressure of straight pipe with wall-thinning under internal pressure
The failure pressure of pipe with wall-thinning was investigated by using three-dimensional elastic-plastic finite element analyses (FEA). With careful modeling of the pipe and flaw geometry in addition to a proper stress-strain relation of the material, FEA could estimate the precise burst pressure obtained by the tests. FEA was conducted by assuming three kinds of materials: line pipe steel, ...

In this article fluid-structure interaction of vibrating composite piezoelectric plates is investigated. Since the plate is assumed to be moderately thick, rotary inertia effects and transverse shear deformation effects are deliberated by applying exponential shear deformation theory. Fluid velocity potential is acquired using the Laplace equation, and fluid boundary conditions and wet dynamic ...
