Based on the Frobenius series method, stresses analysis of the functionally graded rotating thick cylindrical pressure vessels (FGRTCPV) are examined. The vessel is considered in both plane stress and plane strain conditions. All of the cylindrical shell properties except the Poisson ratio are considered exponential function along the radial direction. The governing Navier equation for this pro...

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 pre...

The numerical simulation of two-dimensional incompressible complex flows of viscoelastic fluids is presented. The context is one, relevant to the food industry, of mixing within a cylindrical vessel, where stirrers are located on the lid of the vessel. Here, the motion is considered as driven by the rotation of the outer vessel wall, with various stirrer locations. With a single stirrer, both a...
