Investigation on Failure Behavior of Unflawed Steel Cylindrical Pressure Vessels Using FEA

Aseer Brabin, T. Christopher, Nageswara Rao

Finite element analysis (FEA) has been carried out utilizing the ANSYS software package to assess the failure of thick and thin‐walled steel cylindrical pressure vessels. A simple…

The Effect of Rotation on 2‐D Thermal Shock Problems for a Generalized Magneto‐thermo‐Elasticity Half‐Space Under Three Theories

Mohamed Othman, Ya Qin Song
