Adequacy of the Design: General Considerations

  • Chapter
Pressure Vessel Design and Analysis

Abstract

The reliable operation of a vessel depends on the material used for its construction, the stress-strain distribution under the relevant loading conditions, the temperature to which the material is subjected, the type of environment and the time interval since the vessel was commissioned. Given all the possible combinations of these factors, the designer has to satisfy himself that failure will not, in fact, occur.
