Finite Element Analysis of Composite Pressure Vessel with Non-Geodesic Fiber Trajectory In view of Friction Factors on Cylinder and End Domes
Abstract: Composites are materials created by dissimilar materials with a view to improve the properties or to create materials with desired properties. Progressive Fiber Polymer Composites have developed as an essential class of industrial materials for load carrying applications with well-rounded properties for many industrial and social applications. Structures like pressure vessels, pipes and motor casings made-up of Filament Winding technology are widely used in aerospace applications. Conventionally, pressure vessels were …

Plastics Compressive Strength Testing
Abstract: Compression test is a mechanical test that determines how much compressive force a material to resist before cracking. A gradually applied load compresses the test item, which is commonly in the shape of a square, pyramid, or cylinder, between the platens of a compression-testing machine. Many ductile metals, such as mild steel, have extremely high compression strength, yet measuring them is challenging. Whenever a load is given to a ductile …

Optimization and Analysis of Pulsation Dampener
Abstract: This paper presents a new method for generating computer-aided models and analysis of pulsation dampeners used in fluid power systems to reduce vibration. Pulsation dampeners are widely used in different energy systems to measure the backlash that is driven by power pumps. The vibrations caused by the power pumps in the water system can be strong enough to cause structural damage to the pipes if the pulsation dampener is not …
