FEA of composite cylindrical pressure vessel with 2:1 ellipsoidal heads

1. FEA OF COMPOSITE
CYLINDRICAL
PRESSURE VESSEL
WITH 2:1
ELLIPSOIDAL HEADS

2. WHY
ELLIPSOIDAL
HEAD?
• 2:1 elliptical head.The shape of this head is more
economical, because the height of the head is just a
quarter of the diameter. Its radius varies between the
major and minor axis.
• OtherTypes
- TORISPHERICAL HEAD
- HEMISPHERICAL HEAD

software for
Simulation
ANSYSAPDL
ANSYS structural analysis software enables you to solve
complex structural engineering problems and make
better, faster design decisions.
It optimize their product designs and reduce the costs of
physical testing.
