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...

This study investigates the buckling behavior of short cylindrical shells with hemi-spherical heads subjected to hydrostatic pressure. It is assumed that the length of the cylindrical part is smaller than or equal to its diameter while its material may be dif-ferent from that of hemispherical heads. Finite element analysis was used to seek out the effect of geometric parameters such as thicknes...

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...

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...

We present a tool for tracking coronary vessels in MRI scans of the human heart to aid in the screening of heart diseases. The vessels are identified through a single click inside each vessel present in a standard orthogonal view. The vessel identification results from a series of computational steps including eigenvalue analysis of the Hessian of the MRI image followed by a level set-based ext...

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.
