Revisions: (last rev date 10/30/12)
1)Added first ten buckling modes for determination of critical buckling pressure.
2) Corrected maximum bending stress equation for cap
3) Added von Mises calculation and corrected buckling calculation
4) Corrected von Mises equation
5) Added O-ring groove diameter for diametral clearance and tab bending calculations.
6) Corrected index problem with radial moment equations
7)Modified to End Cap Calcs only.
8)Added Connector Line Load to End Cap Deflection/Stress calculation (Table 24 Case 1a).
The following calculations are for determining the margin of safety
The format for this analysis package will be as follows:
A) Input of design parameters including dimensions, material properties, and design depth
B) Calculations for deformation and stresses in cylinders (check for thin wall or thick wall condition)
C) Buckling calculations for cylinders
D) Calculations for deformations and stresses in end plates,
E) Weight calculation
F) Summary of input and list of results including diametral gap, stresses, margins of safety and weight.
Note: The minimum margin of safety will be determined based upon the lowest margin calculated in the sections above. Thus, for a give pressure vessel, the maximum working pressure may be limited by the end plate thickness while for another it may be limited by the length of the cylindrical section. Therefor, if a desired allowable working depth is not reached, the limiting factor needs to be determined in order to effectively iterate the design to meet the requirements. Also, the diametral gap must be checked for the different pressures to assure that it falls within the maximum allowable from the o-ring vendor.
