Design and Analysis of Pressure Vessel

Design of pressure vessel depends on its pressure and temperature. When pressure and temperature get changed every pressure vessel is new. In pressure vessel design safety is the main consideration. The structural integrity of mechanical components of pressure vessel requires a fatigue analysis including thermal and stress analysis. Pressure vessel parameter are designed and checked according to ASME (American society of mechanical engineering) sec. viii Div.1.Fatigue analysis improve the life of pressure vessel. Pv Elite helps engineer to comply their design and calculation strictly as per code. According to ASME SEC VIII. DIV-1 Analysis of pressure vessel is carried out at different pressure and temperature conditions. Pressure vessel with different end domes (torispherical and hemispherical), subjected to internal pressure have been designed for a volume of 1000 litres which will be useful for space application. Non-linear axisymmetric FEA considering both geometric and material non-linearity have been performed in ANSYS software to estimate the stress in dome and cylindrical shell of pressure vessel. Based on the analysis, optimum thickness which meets the strength requirement of the material is arrived at. High pressure rise is developed in the pressure vessel and pressure vessel must withstand severe forces. In the design of pressure vessel safety is the primary consideration, due the potential impact of possible accident.
