Burst and minimum weight design of pressure vessel components by modern optimisation techniques

This research is comprised of two main parts. Firstly, burst pressures in vessel components are evaluated. Two types of failure mode are investigated, one due to excessive plastic deformation and the other due to plastic instability. Experimental tests, carried out on components made from mild steel...
