Description
Summary:Stress classification is a significant problem in pressure vessel design by analysis, especially if the design is based on solid finite element analysis. Stress categorization may be circumvented if the design is based on elastic-plastic or limit analysis but the degree of difficulty commonly associated with these types of analysis makes this approach unattractive to many designers. In this paper, a brief survey of a number of recent developments in pressure vessel design by analysis is discussed and assessed in light of Code design requirements.
