We have already discussed the different types of pressure vessels previously. The thick cylinder is one of the types of Cylindrical shells which is subjected to very high internal pressures for many applications such as Gun Barrels, Hydraulic cylinders, and pipes. In these applications, the wall thickness must be made thick to accommodate the high […]
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 […]
