Abstract |
|
In recent years there has been an increasing demand from the core industries for the materials possessing high strength to weight ratio. Fiber reinforced composite is one of the latest material posses this property. This paper aims is innovation of alternative materials of Liquid petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder. An LPG cylinder of composite materials is designed and analysis is done using ANSYS software and the comparison is made with existing steel cylinder, on the basis of displacement and Stress produced due to the application of internal pressure to the cylinder. To validate the model the results of stresses and deformation for steel cylinders are compared with the analytical solution available in literature. It was observed that besides less weight, stresses are also less for composite compared to steel cylinder. |
