The McGraw-Hill companies Cylinders and Pressure Vessels 78 From Eqs (22.16) and (22.17), the stresses are as follows: (22.18) (22.19) and the stresses are given by, o,=-P, (22.20) PDEs DP = ODD (2221) (D; ~ DF) ‘The variation of principal stresses across the cylinder wall thickness is shown in Fig. 22.6(b). 22.7 AUTOFRETTAGE Autofiettage is a process of pre-strssing the cylinder before using it in service. It is used in case of high-pressure cylinders and gun barrels. When the cylinder is subjected to intemal pressure, the circumferential stress (c) at the inner surface limits the pressure capacity of the eylinder. In the pre- stressing process, residual compressive stresses are developed at the inner surface. When the eylinder is loaded in service, the residual compressive stresses at the inner surface begin to decrease, become zero and finally become tensile as the pressure is gradually increased, There are three methods of pre- stressing the cylinder. They areas follows: (@ A compound cylinder consists of two concentrie eylinders with the outer eylinder shrunk onto the inner one, This induces compressive stresses in the inner cylinder. The compound eylinder is extensively used in practice (i) The second method consists of overloading the cylinder befor it is put into service. The overloading pressure is adjusted in such a way that @ portion of the cylinder near the inner diameter is subjected to stresses in the plastic range, while the outer portion is still in the elastic range. When the pressure is released, the outer portion contracts exerting pressure on the inner portion which has tundergone permanent deformation. This induces residual compressive stresses at the inner surface. Im the third method, a wire under tension is closely wound around the cylinder, which results in residual compressive stresses. ‘Autofiettage increases the pressure capacity of the cylinder. It has another advantage. The residual compressive stresses close the cracks within the cylinder resulting in increased endurance strength, i 228 COMPOUND CYLINDER ‘Acompound cylinder, consisting of a cylinder and a jacket is shown in Fig. 22.7(a). The inner diameter of the jacket is slightly smaller than the outer diameter ‘of the eylinder, When the jacket is heated, it expands sufficiently to move over the cylinder. As the jacket cools, it tends to contract onto the inner cylinder, which induces residual compressive stresses. There isa shrinkage pressure P between the cylinder and the jacket. The pressure P tends to contract the cylinder and expand the jacket as shown in Fig. 22.7 () and (e) Fig. 22.7 Compound Cylinder The tangential strain (¢), for the jacket is aiven by, __ change in circumference (0, riginal creumference _ HDs +8,)— "Dy xD, or ont ® D; The McGraw-Hill companies 776 _Design of Machine Elements ‘The tangential strain (g)_ forthe eylinder is given by, HD, -m(D; ~6,) ee = ( aD or © 1 also, 6), = lm -uo,) © From (a) and (c), (6, -u9,] or Fie, - 49,1 @ where PO} + DE La) {from Eq, 22. s=* propa (om ba 229) o.=-P (from Eq. 22.8) ‘Substituting the above values in Bq.

The values of yield strength (S,) for commonly used carbon and low alloy steels are iven in Table 22.2, ‘The walls of the pressure vessel are subjected to thinning due to corrosion, which reduces the useful life ofthe vessel. Corrosion in pressure vessels is of the following forms: () Chemical attack where the metal is dissolved by a chemical reagent i).

There are two types ‘of end closures—domed heads and conical heads ‘The domed heads are further elassified into three ‘groups—hemispherical, —_semi-cllipsoidal torispherical, as shown in Fig, 22.17, Hemispherica heads have minimum plate thickness, minimum, ‘material cost ‘weight and consequently lowes forming required 10 produce the hemispherical shape is more, resulting in increased forming cost.

However, duc to the shallow dished shape, the forming cost is reduced. ‘The length of the straight portion (S)) is given by, S;=3t or 20mm (whichever is more) ‘Torispherical heads are extensively used as end closures for a lange variety of cylindrical pressure vessels. They are shaped by using two radii—the crown radius L and knuckle radius r;, The crown radius L is the radius of the dish, which constitutes the major portion of the head. The knuckle radius is the comer radius joining the spherical crown with the cylindrical ‘shell. Torispherical heads require less forming than semi-cllipsoidal heads. ‘Their main drawback is the local stresses at the two discontinuities, namely, the junction between the crown and the knuckle radius and the junction between the knuckle radius and the cylindrical shel ‘The localised stresses may lead to failure due to brittle fracture.
