29 Jun 373: Pressure Housing
Static stress analysis with non-linear contact and buckling analysis of a pressure housing. Multiple load cases were analysed of two different designs of housing. Both designs were analysed in full, but also using a pie cut symmetry model. One design was also analysed usign a 2D axisymmetric model. For the analyses that showed failure of the design at certain locations for both the stress and buckling analysis, recommendations were given on how to strengthen the design.
