1.0 Couse Oveview This couse coves he asic conceps of he analysis of vessels holding a fluid o gas unde pessue. Some common examples of pessuized vessels include pipes, wae owes, hydaulic cylindes, and oiles. This couse will focus on cylindical and spheical shaped vessels ecause hey ae common in indusial applicaions and saighfowad o analyze. Sess calculaions in his couse ae sepaaed ino wo caegoies. The fis secion will cove asic sesses in hin-walled pessue vessels. The second secion coves sesses in hick-walled pessue vessels. The majoiy of he couse coves opics fo hick-walled pessue vessels due o he inceased complexiy. Noe ha his couse only coves sess caused y pessue loads. Hanges o suppo ackes can e used o suppo anks o pessue vessels. The suppos will cause addiional sess, which when comined wih he woking sesses of he vessel canno exceed an allowale limi fo he maeial. I is also impoan ha he suppo sill allows flexiiliy of he vessel and no cause i o ecome oo igid. Though analyical mehods exis fo deemining addiional sesses caused y suppos, i is ecommended o use FEA [no coveed in his couse] o analyze suppo aeas. This couse coves he asic sess analysis of pessue vessels and does no cove specific design codes fo pessue vessels due o he vas ypes of applicaions. The eade should consul any appopiae codes, such as ASME Code Secion VIII, fo moe deails..0 Thin-Walled Pessue Vessels.1 Inoducion Pessue vessels will fall ino one of wo main caegoies: hin-walled pessue vessels and hickwalled pessue vessels. A hin-walled pessue vessel has a small plae hickness compaed o he oveall diamee of he vessel. Conside a pessuized cylindical vessel wih an inne adius and a wall hickness. Fo cylindes having a wall hickness less han o equal o 10% of he 10, he pessue vessel is consideed hin-walled. I will e seen ha hoop inne adius [ ] sess is assumed o e unifomly disiued ove he wall hickness in hin-walled pessue vessels (wih minimal eo), whee he disiuion is non-unifom in hick-walled pessue vessels. www.suncam.com Copyigh 018 James Doane Page 3 of 31
. Sesses in Cylindical Conaines We will egin wih cylindical shaped vessels wih hin walls sujeced o inenal pessue. The inenal pessue will cause sesses in he cylinde walls. Fo hin-walled pessue vessels, a poin on he vessel (sufficienly fa fom he ends) will have hoop sess and longiudinal sess as illusaed wih he fee-ody diagam shown in Figue 1.
