12.1 12. Pressure Vessels: Combined Stresses Cylindrical Or Spherical
12. Pressure Vessels: Combined Stresses Cylindrical or spherical pressure vessels (e.g., hydraulic cylinders, gun barrels, pipes, boilers and tanks) are commonly used in industry to carry both liquid s and gases under pressure. When the pressure vessel is exposed to this pressure, the material comprising the vessel is subjected to pressure loading, and hence stresses, from all directions. The normal stresses resulting from this pressure are functions of the radius of the element under consideration, the shape of the pressure vessel (i.e., open ended cylinder, closed end cylinder, or sphere) as well as the applied pressure. Two types of analysis are commonly applied to pressure vessels. The most common method is based on a simple mechanics approach and is applicable to “thin wall” pressure vessels which by definition have a ratio of inner radius, r, to wall thickness, t, of r/t≥10. The second method is based on elasticity solution and is always applicable regardless of the r/t ratio and can be referred to as the solution for “thick wall” pressure vessels. Both types of analysis are discussed here, although for most engineering applications, the thin wall pressure vessel can be used. Thin-Walled Pressure Vessels Several assumptions are made in this method. 1) Plane sections remain plane 2) r/t ≥ 10 with t being uniform and constant 3) The applied pressure, p, is the gage pressure (note that p is the difference between the absolute pressure and the atmospheric pressure) 4) Material is linear-elastic, isotropic and homogeneous. 5) Stress distributions throughout the wall thickness will not vary 6) Element of interest is remote from the end of the cylinder and other geometric discontinuities. -

High pressure rise is developed in the pressure vessel and pressure vessel has to withstand severe forces. In the design of pressure vessel safety is the primary consideration, due the potential impact of possible accident. There have a few main factors to design the safe pressure vessel. This writing is focusing on analyzing the safety parameter for allowable working pressure. The cylinder is designed by considering the pressure, temperature and other constraints. Analysis of strength is made analytically and validation is done by ANSYS model and analysis. Keywords — Air bottle, ASME Code, Finite Element Analysis, ANSYS, Design for Fatigue. 1. INTRODUCTION 2.

Gallagher, Under Secretary of Commerce for Standards and Technology and Director ii ABSTRACT Nondestructive test (NDT) methods and sensor technologies are evaluated in the context of providing input parameters to service life prediction models for reinforced concrete structures. Relevant NDT methods and sensors are identified that are based on diverse technologies including mechanical impact, ultrasonic waves, electromagnetic waves, nuclear, and chemical and electrical methods. The degradation scenarios of reinforcement corrosion, alkali-silica reaction, and cracking are used to identify gaps in available NDT methods for supporting condition assessment and service life prediction. Common gaps are identified, along with strategies for resolving those gaps. iii Disclaimer: Certain commercial products are identified in this paper to specify the materials used and -

DOT-106A500W Ton Containers 106A500W Ton Tank for Chlorine Service CBC 106A500W ton containers are manufactured with ASTM 516 Grade 70 material and all joints are completed using the electric fusion welding process. Unlike other electric fusion welded chlorine containers that have the circumferential weld joints under tension, the 106A500W utilizes a joint design, unique for chlorine containers, whereby the circumferential weld joint is in compression. In addition, unlike containers with the circumferential weld joint on the outside corner of the chime, the circumferential weld joint of the Columbiana 106A500W container is on the inside of the chime, where it is protected from damage by forklifts, collisions and other potentially damaging impact events. Like the Columbiana DOT 106A500X, Columbiana 106A500W containers have the exclusive safety- engineered feature of “inverted heads”—if a container is accidentally over-pressurized, the heads will reverse (become convex), providing an immediate visual indication of over- 106A500W pressurization. The reversed heads also create addi¬tional capacity to reduce the pressure and provide valuable time for corrective action. Through extensive prototype testing, the performance of the DOT 106A500W container has proved to equal and in many areas exceed that of the well proven DOT 106A500X. As with the DOT 106A500X multi unit tank car tank, the Columbiana DOT 106A500W multi unit tank car tank is approved by the US DOT with all the same performance and testing requirements as the DOT 106A500X. The DOT 106A500W container accommodates the Chlorine Institute emergency kit.

Gerd-Rüdiger Jaenisch Tag der wissenschaftlichen Aussprache: 1 September 2015 Berlin 2015 D83 Abstract Non-destructive testing (NDT) is regarded as one of the key elements in ensuring quality of engineering systems and their safe use. A failure of NDT to detect critical defects in safety- relevant components, such as those in the nuclear industry, may lead to catastrophic consequences for the environment and the people. Therefore, ensuring that NDT methods are capable of detecting all critical defects, i.e. that they are reliable, is of utmost importance. Reliability of NDT is affected by human factors, which have thus far received the least amount of attention in the reliability assessments. -

7.3 the Thin-Walled Pressure Vessel Theory T
Section 7.3 7.3 The Thin-walled Pressure Vessel Theory An important practical problem is that of a cylindrical or spherical object which is subjected to an internal pressure p. Such a component is called a pressure vessel, Fig. 7.3.1. Applications arise in many areas, for example, the study of cellular organisms, arteries, aerosol cans, scuba-diving tanks and right up to large-scale industrial containers of liquids and gases. In many applications it is valid to assume that (i) the material is isotropic (ii) the strains resulting from the pressures are small (iii) the wall thickness t of the pressure vessel is much smaller than some characteristic radius: t ro ri ro ,ri p t 2ri 2r o Figure 7.3.1: A pressure vessel (cross-sectional view) Because of (i,ii), the isotropic linear elastic model is used. Because of (iii), it will be assumed that there is negligible variation in the stress field across the thickness of the vessel, Fig. 7.3.2. p actual stress t p approximate stress t Figure 7.3.2: Approximation to the stress arising in a pressure vessel As a rule of thumb, if the thickness is less than a tenth of the vessel radius, then the actual stress will vary by less than about 5% through the thickness, and in these cases the constant stress assumption is valid. Solid Mechanics Part I 185 Kelly Section 7.3 Note that a pressure xx yy zz pi means that the stress on any plane drawn inside the vessel is subjected to a normal stress pi and zero shear stress (see problem 6 in section 3.5.7).
