Abstract: One of the common methods of construction of vessels for high to ultra-high pressure applications is the wrapping technique. In this method, relatively thin plates (normally in the range of 6 ...

Abstract: On a roller chain drive, if the incoming engaging roller moves tangent to the pitch circle at the moment of engagement, no roller-sprocket impact should occur. Based on such a notion, an ...

Abstract: Multilayer vessels are the designer’s solution to the inefficiency involved in operating monoblock vessels at pressures above 50 MPa. Multilayer wrapped vessels are commonly employed in high-pressure ...

Abstract: Determination of residual stresses and the positive or negative effect that they may have on the component is an important consideration in design. Unexpected failure of components, latter ...

Abstract: Threaded connections are commonly employed in axial load-bearing equipment and pressure vessel components. There are a number of parameters that affect the load distribution between the threads ...

Abstract: The creep relaxation of prestress in a wire-wound cylindrical vessel based on power function creep law is obtained. In this analysis, it is assumed that the wire is wrapped perpendicular to ...

Abstract: The prestresses in the walls of multilayered weld-wrapped cylindrical pressure vessels are mainly created by the transverse shrinkage of the welded layers. Current design practices consider only ...
