| Failure Modes of Simple Pressure
Vessels Library: This is an Excel File and a Mathcad file, either of which can be
used to estimate the pressure at which a simple cylinder will fail by yielding
and buckling. And for estimating when a simply supported end cap will
fail by yielding. For a Detail Description of the These calculations go here. The user enters the material's properties (Young's Modulus, Yield Stress, and Poisson's Ratio) and the files return plots of Thickness/Diameter ratio (allowing use with any size cylinder or end cap) vs. Depth. To prevent failure the Thickness/Diameter ratio should be thicker than those specified by the curves (i.e. there is NO safety margin!!!) |
