UNIT –I INTRODUCTION 9
Methods for determining stresses – Terminology and Ligament Efficiency
– Applications
UNIT – II STRESSES IN PRESSURE VESSELS 9
Introduction – Stresses in a circular ring, cylinder –Dilation of pressure
vessels, Membrane stress Analysis of Vessel – Cylindrical, spherical and,
conical heads – Thermal Stresses – Discontinuity stresses in pressure
vessels.
UNIT – III DESIGN OF VESSELS 9
Design of Tall cylindrical self-supporting process columns – Supports for
short vertical vessels – Stress concentration at a variable Thickness
transition section in a cylindrical vessel, about a circular hole, elliptical
openings. Theory of Reinforcement – Pressure Vessel Design.
UNIT – IV BUCKLING AND FRACTURE ANALYSIS IN VESSELS 9
Buckling phenomenon – Elastic Buckling of circular ring and cylinders
under external pressure – collapse of thick walled cylinders or tubes under
external pressure – Effect of supports on Elastic Buckling of Cylinders –
Buckling under combined External pressure and axial loading.
UNIT – V PIPING 9
Introduction – Flow diagram – piping layout and piping stress Analysis.
TOTAL:45 PERIODS

1. Explain Methods for determining stresses Terminology and Ligament
Efficiency, Applications
