PRESSURE VESSEL DESIGN CRITERIA.
Abstract
The purpose of the work being performed in this program is to provide experimental data to assist in establishing material selection, and design and fabrication criteria for reliable, highly efficient pressure vessels. Tests have been concluded in which material performance in tensile and bend tests was examined. Tests are under way to determine material performance in small-scale pressure vessels. Anisotropic effects have been observed in biaxial stress fields for AISI 4340 steel which cannot be detected when the material is subjected to a uniaxial stress field. Characteristics of materials in uniaxial and biaxial stress states and correlation between tensile, bend, hardness, and pressure vessel tests will be reported upon completion of this work. (Author)
