Pressure vessels are used for various industrial applications. To ensure safe operation of pressure vessels, it is important to know its burst pressure. Burst pressure is the pressure at which vessel burst/crack and internal fluid leaks. For light weight application pressure vessel are made of composite material. Payload performance /speed /operating range depends up on weight. Use of composite...

composite pressure vessel cng made of epoxy – carbon material with nonmetal liner is 60% lighter than aluminum vessel under the same conditions. one of the important parameters in the pressure vessels design is their resistance against impact and prevention of explosion. in this paper, the effects of low velocity impact on composite pressure vessel are investigated using fe analysis. the vessel...

Finite element method is employed to analyze the spherical vessel intersected by an oblique cylindrical nozzle. In this survey the stress and strain distributions on acute and obtuse sides of the connection under internal pressure are studied widely although axial and moment loadings on the nozzle are also studied briefly. Stress concentration factors for a wide range of geometrical ratios in t...

Currently many aerospace vehicle systems require lightweight, high performance pressurized tank for storage of propellant, nitrogen, oxygen, or other medium. Aircrafts have several needs for high-pressure stored gas, like aircraft escape slide inflation systems, emergency oxygen supply, landing gear actuator, engine pressurized air start system and on-board inert gas generating system nitrogen ...

A problem on the fracture of a thin-walled spherical vessel affected by increasing internal pressure is formulated. The material properties both in stage hardening and softening (prefracture) are described. mathematics catastrophe theory used to write down equilibrium equations find critical value pressure, at which fails.

Using the Frobenius series method (FSM), an analytical solution is developed to obtain mechanical stresses of thick spherical pressure vessels made of functionally graded materials (FGMs). The cylinder pressure vessel is subjected to uniform internal pressure. The modulus of elasticity is graded along the radial direction according to power functions of the radial direction. It is assumed that ...

Spherical shell structures are the most suitable shape for deep-sea pressure hulls because they have ideal mechanical properties handling symmetrical pressure. However, accuracy requirement a hull in spherical structure subjected to is extremely high. Even minor asymmetry can significantly degrade its properties. In this study, new type of and integral hydro-bulge-forming (IHBF) method proposed...

The effect of multiple shallow corrosion pits on the strength a spherical vessel subjected to internal pressure is studied. are considered both randomly and evenly distributed along equator outer surface vessel. dependencies stress concentration factor number compared for linearly elastic elastic-plastic material with hardening. behavior vessels made elastoplastic materials turned out be qualit...

Pressure vessel is a container used to store fluids under pressure and temperature. The fluids can be air, water, chemicals, fuel, gases etc. are most commonly used in food and chemical industries, oil refineries and so on. Pressure vessel is subjected to thermal and structural loads for power plant applications. Since the pressure vessel are subjected to both structural and thermal loads stres...

In this paper, a numerical analysis of stresses and displacements in FGM thick-walled cylindrical pressure vessel under internal pressure has been presented. The elastic modulus is assumed to be varying along the longitude of the pressure vessel with an exponential function continuously. The Poisson’s ratio is assumed to be constant. Whereas most of the previous studies about FGM thick-walled p...
