Pressure Vessel Technology, Volume 1: Design and Analysis is a collection of papers presented at the Sixth International Conference on Pressure Vessel Technology, held in Beijing, People's Republic of China on September 11-15, 1988. This conference presents the practical applications in pressure vessel technology, specifically the developments and research, as well as contributions from prominent specialists from many different countries related to their design, materials, fabrication, and methods of inspection. This volume is divided into 61 chapters and begins with a presentation of guidelines and design criteria for various pressure vessel components, such as the nuclear, piping, and boiler components. The succeeding chapters deal with the features and practical application of the seismic design criteria, the issues of vibration, instabilities, damping, and flows. These topics are followed by discussions of the application of the discrete vortex method to flow over structures; tests and analysis of sealing characteristics; the properties of flange, gaskets, and heat exchangers; and stress analysis experiments. This work also includes papers on thermal stress tests, elastoplastic and deformation analysis, crack stability, and the application of computer for automation in analysis. The remaining chapters survey some international design standards of pressure vessels. This book will prove useful to mechanical and design engineers.
