Design of Pressure Vessels

Design of Pressure Vessels by Subhash Reddy Gaddam. This book will be useful to new graduates and post-graduates for the subject of solid mechanics and aspiring career in the pressure vessel design field, advanced education, and research, and to working professionals in static equipment, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, boilers, and similar equipment. This book is the calculation of thickness for maximum allowable stress or maximum induced relevant stresses for a given thickness of any element for which equation is derived using maximum principal stress theory of failure by any analytical method of analysis and relevant design theories. The activities involved in connection with pressure vessel design for manufacturing them are briefly covered in this chapter. Design, in general, starts with process design, which is normally performed in an R & D organization. The next step is plant design for satisfactory operation and facilitating the maintenance of the plant, which is the design and linking of other auxiliary parts.
