Finite Element Modelling and Analysis of Pressure Vessel

Abstract

Abstract: In recent years, most of the sectors replace conventional materials with aluminium matrix materials. Various mechanical studies have been done, such as tensile, impact, flexural, and hardness. For the same geometrical parameters of the steel pressure vessel, FE Analysis of Structural Steel pressure vessel is carried out, and stresses for internal pressures are determined. And the Geometric Modelling is carried out in design software solid works and analyse in ANSYS workbench. The Structural analysis of pressure vessel was carried out. The validation for Hoop stress, Longitudinal stress& Maximum shear stress was done. Cylindrical pressure vessels are widely used for commercial, under water vehicles and in aerospace applications. And the Geometric Modelling is carried out in solid works. And analysed in ANSYS Workbench. The Comparison has done between FEM results and Theoretical results for Validation purposes. The Calculations for Hoop Stress, Longitudinal Stress & Maximum Shear Stress was Calculated for theoretical. The boundary conditions and dimensions for Modelling of a Pressure vessel was taken from the paper and same Boundary conditions was applied for analysis purposes. For Structural steel the design is safe because the stress value is within range of yield strength. The Material properties used are structural properties of steel for the analysis Purposes.
