Pressure vessel is a leak-proof vessel which has a function as container or separate gas and liquid. Pressure vessels are very often in spherical, cylindrical and cylindrical shells with hemispherical end shapes. The main part of a pressure vessel is a cylindrical shell and head which is supported by a saddle. On its operation, the pressure vessel gets many kinds of loads, like internal pressure, loads because of its own weight and fluid weight. Loads that occur are various stresses on the vessel wall. Such vessels fail when the stress state somewhere in the wall material exceeds some failure criterion. It is thus important to be able to understand and quantify (resolve) stresses in solids. The main objective of this project is to design a cylindrical pressure vessel and calculate the stresses induced in the vessel head cover manually and to compare these results with the ANSYS results.
