Design and Finite Element Analysis of Vertical Pressure Vessels Subjected To Applied Forces

Abstract

Vertical pressure vessels consist of a cylindrical shell and dished bottoms. They are placed on three welded legs. The size and positioning of the filler necks is adjusted according to the customer requirements and accordance with the relevant European standards. The pressure vessels can be produced from ferrous or austenitic steel.In this thesis, a vertical pressure vessel is designed subjected to different loads internal pressure and external pressure by theoretical calculations. The models are done in Creo 2.0.Static, Modal and Random vibration analysis are done on the model to determine displacements, stresses, frequencies, directional deformations and shear stresses. Analysis will be done in Ansys 14.5.
