We study the thermal buckling behavior of cylindrical shells reinforced with Functionally Graded (FG) wavy Carbon NanoTubes (CNTs), stiffened by stringers and rings, and subjected to a thermal loading. The equilibrium equations of the problem are built according to the Third-order Shear Deformation Theory (TSDT), whereas the stiffeners are modeled as Euler Bernoulli beams. Different types of FG...

A calculus problem arising in the operation of a storage tank for a chemical processing plant is described. Constructing an appropriate gauge for the storage tank requires computing the volume of water residing inside a tilted cylindrical pipe. The following calculus problem arose in the engineering design of a storage tank facility, and is possibly more interesting and challenging for students...

Abstract In a pressure vessel, spherical crown head can be used as an end or middle head. Without common tangent to connect the surfaces of shell and cylindrical shell, connection between produces stresses deformation at edge connection, so in use need stiffened stiffening section needs arranged. With section, stainless steel equipment includes more welding beads looks less aesthetically attrac...

Many works can be found in the literature concerning the vibroacoustic modelling of submerged stiffened cylindrical shells, because of high interest in the industrial domain, in particular for aeronautical or naval applications. However, only a few of them take into account non-axisymmetric internal frames, as for instance engine foundations or floor partitions, that can play a role on the vibr...

The paper focuses on the data collected from the mixing of shear thinning non-Newtonian fluids in a cylindrical tank by a Rushton turbine. The data presented are obtained by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation of fluid flow field in the entire tank volume. The CFD validation data for this study is reported in the research article 'Numerical investigation of hydrodynamic behavior...

The high efficiency of circular monocoque cylindrical shells in carrying axial loads is impaired by their extreme sensitivity to imperfections and there is an extensive body of literature that addresses this behavior. Instead of following this classical path, focused on circular cross-sections, this paper presents a novel approach that adopts optimal symmetry-breaking wavy cross-sections (wavy ...
