Design of Multi-Region Pressure Vessels Using Maximum Shear Theory
Abstract
A method is outlined for multi-region pressure vessels design calculations using the maximum shear theory. This treatment is employed due to the simplicity of the method and because the results are quite conservative for both ductile and brittle materials. A procedure for obtaining an optimum design is given for a desired percentage of auto-frettage on the inner wall of the pressure vessel. A computer program was written in Fortran II language and the various design possibilities were executed by IBM-1620 computer.
