Abstract: Because of large scale and heavy weight, end closures of high pressure vessels are usually hard to assemble and disassemble. In this paper, a new quick-opening seal device connected by D-shaped ...

Abstract: In this study, axial stiffness analysis of corrugated tubes was carried out numerically and experimentally. By performing axial loading-displacement analysis, a so-called stiffness weakness factor ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional parametrized finite element model is established for the nonlinear analysis of the hydraulically expanded tube-to-tubesheet joint. Distribution of the residual contact pressure ...
