How to design a Cylinder?
Have you ever wondered how to design a Cylinder?? I mean how the basic parameters such as diameter and thickness are set. We mostly see Cylinders in Internal combustion Engines, Compressors, and Hydraulic pumps. In all these cases the Cylinder will experience internal pressure caused by combustion in engines, air compressed by the piston in […]
Stresses in a Thin Cylindrical Shell
You must have seen heavy vehicles transporting fluids such as water/petroleum or steam boilers in some industrial plants etc. with a cylindrical structure called tanks or Pressure vessels. These Pressure vessels are used to store the fluids under the pressure. Since these fluids are stored under pressure, these may undergo a state of change inside […]

What is Interferometry in Metrology?
In the previous article, we have discussed what is Optical Interference, in this article we are going to discuss Interferometry in metrology. In simple words, Interferometry is nothing but the use of optical interference to carrying out precise measurements of very small linear dimensions. Interferometry in Metrology Due to the Optical interference of two or […]
What is Optical Interference?
Optical Interference is an effect that can occur when two or more light beams are superimposed. We knew that a ray of light is composed of an infinite number of waves of equal wavelength. the value of the wavelength determines the colour of light. For the sake of simplicity, let us consider two waves, having […]
