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...

Abstract The composite over-wrapped pressure vessel (COPV), which were made by ultra-thin metal liner and high strength carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), has performance factor (PV/W). COPV widely used in electric propulsion system (EPS) of space system. ANSI/AIAA S-081-2000 is a general standard for aerospace field at home abroad, it specified the design elements, references, specificati...

A haemodynamic analysis of resistance vessel behaviour in normo- and hyper-tension has been performed, relating vessel design, degree of contraction, wall distensibility and transmural pressure to each other in a way which allows a semiquantitative prediction of their respective influences in various situations.

Thin shell torispherical pressure vessel heads are known to exhibit complex elasticplastic deformation and buckling behaviour under static pressure. In pressure vessel Design by Analysis, the designer is required to assess both of these behaviour modes when specifying the allowable static load. The EN and ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Codes permit the use of inelastic analysis in design by an...
