How should impact loads be handled in the design of pressure vessels?
Thread Content
When designing pressure vessels, we encounter significant impact loads. Our design pressure is 10 MPa, and the design temperature is 500 degrees; a high pressure is maintained inside the equipment for a certain period of time before it is suddenly depressurized, with the depressurization taking place in less than 15 seconds. This results in large impact loads. How should this be taken into account? I’d like to ask everyone! Thank you
Conventional design takes into account only a single maximum static load; impact loads should not be handled using this conventional design approach. Please advise those with expertise
