UNIT I INTRODUCTION 3
Methods for determining stresses – Terminology and Ligament Efficiency – Applications.

UNIT II STRESSES IN PRESSURE VESSELS 15
Introduction – Stresses in a circular ring, cylinder – Membrane stress Analysis of Vessel Shell components –
Cylindrical shells, spherical Heads, conical heads – Thermal Stresses – Discontinuity stresses in pressure
vessels.

UNIT III DESIGN OF VESSELS 15

vessels – stress concentration – at a variable Thickness transition section in a cylindrical vessel, about a
circular hole, elliptical openings. Theory of Reinforcement – pressure vessel Design. Introduction to ASME
pressure vessel codes

UNIT IV BUCKLING OF VESSELS 8
Buckling phenomenon – Elastic Buckling of circular ring and cylinders under external pressure – collapse of
thick walled cylinders or tubes under external pressure – Effect of supports on Elastic Buckling of Cylinders
– Buckling under combined External pressure and axial loading.

UNIT V PIPING 4
Introduction – Flow diagram – piping layout and piping stress Analysis.
