EXPERIMENTAL STRESS ANALYSIS OF A ONE-SIXTH SCALE MODEL OF AN ANECHOIC PRESSURE VESSEL.

Abstract

An experimental stress analysis was made to confirm the design feasibility of a double wall 40-foot diameter spherical pressure vessel to be used as an anechoic chamber. Electrical resistance strain gages were used to measure strains on the surface of the test article, a one-sixth scale model of the anechoic vessel, for several possible combinations of internal pressure, annulus pressure and dead weight loads.
