By finite element software ANSYS a model of GIS busbar tube was established for investigating the effect of the gas pressure on the shell. The results shows that the stress concentration degree is higher on the shoulder between the main tube and the branch pipes under the internal pressure and the gravity, and the highest value is 44.92MPa which is far lower than the admissible stress. Stress changed along the thickness direction, and its value decreased gradually from the inside out. The distributions of the strain and deformation are similar to that of the stress.

Approximate Formulas

Results from finite element analysis were used to show that the stress index kσ and the nondimensionalized highly stressed hub length kh of a flat head with a round corner in a pressure vessel subjected to internal pressure are functions of three dimensionless parameters: λ ≡ h/dt, η ≡ t/d, and ρ ≡ r/t. Approximate formulas for estimating kσ and kh from λ, η, and ρ p are given. The formulas can be used for determining a suitable fillet radius for a flat head in order to reduce the fabricating cost and to keep the stress intensity at the fillet under an acceptable limit.

The objective of this paper is to design an annular tank. The annular tank is to store various criticality liquids used in today’s industry. The initial over all dimensions of the annular tank are determined from the capacity of the stored liquids. The design function is performed using the ASME Code Sec VIII Div 1. The annular tank design is broken up into (a) outer cylinder, (b) inner cylinder, (c) top cover, and (d) bottom head. It is supported at the bottom. It is anchored at the top. The deflection of the annular space is a critical requirement. Stresses are usually acceptable because the requirement is on the deflection. For vacuum condition the outer cylinder can be treated for external pressure and the inner cylinder can be treated for internal pressure. For internal pressure condition the design pressure consists of working internal pressure plus static head. For this the outer cylinder can be treated for internal pressure and the inner cylinder can be treated for external pressure. The covers are designed for internal pressure at the bottom where the pressure is the maximum. The designed dimensions are used to recalculate the stresses for the annular tank. The dimensioned annular tank is modeled using STAAD III finite element Software. The stresses from the finite element Software are compared to the stresses obtained from recalculated stresses obtained using ASME Code Sec VIII Div 1. The difference in the stress values is explained. This paper’s main objective is to compare the ASME Code to the finite element analysis. The design is found to be safe for the specific configuration considered. In addition the annular tank is checked for temperature and seismic load conditions, which the code does not address.

Design Function

The objective of this paper is to verify design of a slab tank. The slab tank is to store various criticality liquids used in today’s industry. The initial over all dimensions of the slab tank are determined from the capacity of the stored liquids. The design function is performed using the flat plate theory. The slab tank design is broken up into (a) two long side members, (b) two short side members, (c) top head, and (d) bottom head. It is supported from the bottom at a height by a rectangular plate enclosure. It is anchored at the rectangular plate enclosure. The deflection of the linear space is a critical requirement. Stresses are usually acceptable because the requirement is on the deflection. For vacuum condition the long side plates will deflect inwards. Flat plate equations are used to determine deflection and stress. For internal pressure condition the design pressure consists of working internal pressure plus static head pressure. For this the long side plates will deflect outwards. The heads are designed for internal pressure at the bottom where the pressure is the maximum. The designed dimensions are used to recalculate the stresses for the slab tank. The dimensioned slab tank is modeled using STAAD III finite element software. The stresses from the finite element software are compared to the stresses obtained from recalculated stresses obtained using flat plate theory. The difference in the stress values is explained. This paper’s main objective is to compare the flat plate theory to the finite element analysis. The design is found to be safe for the specific configuration considered.

Arterial bifurcations loaded by internal pressure represent significant stress concentrators. Increased mechanical stress inside arterial wall probably accelerates pathogenic processes at these places. Stress concentration factor (SCF) depends mainly on geometry, loading and material. This work presents a map of SCFs calculated by FEM at aortic bifurcation (AB) loaded by static internal pressure. Influence of geometry (aortic diameter, wall thickness, bifurcation angle, "non-planarity" angle and radius of apex), material properties and internal pressure were evaluated statistically by regression of FEM results. Two variants of materials were used (linear Hook and hyper elastic Ogden). Viscoelastic behaviour, anisotropy and prestrain were neglected. Results indicate that the highest Mises stress appears in the inner side of AB apex and that the SCF is negatively correlated with bifurcation angle and with internal pressure. The SCF varies from 4,5 to 7,5 (Hook) and from 7 to 21 (Ogden).

This paper examines techniques for the evaluation of two kinds of structural imperfection, namely bulging subject to internal pressure, and out-of-round imperfections subject to external pressure, with and without creep. Comparisons between comprehensive finite element analysis and API 579 Level 2 techniques are made. It is recommended that structural, as opposed to material, failures such as these should be assessed with a structural model that explicitly represents the defect.

Flat Cover

According to the results of finite element analysis (FEA), when the diameter of opening of the flat cover is no more than 0.5D (d≤0.5D), there is obvious stress concentration at the edge of opening, but only existed within the region of 2d. Increasing the thickness of flat covers could not relieve the stress concentration at the edge of opening. It is recommended that reinforcing element being installed within the region of 2d should be used. When the diameter of openings is larger than 0.5D (d>0.5D), conical or round angle transitions could be employed at connecting location, with which the edge stress decreased remarkably. However, the primary stress plus the secondary stress would be valued by 3[σ].
