Stress and strain analysis on a thin-walled cylinder

Pipes, pressure vessels, steam boilers etc. are considered as thin-walled vessels during design. The principal stresses are key variables in calculating and designing these vessels. Learn about Stress and strain analysis on a thin-walled cylinder equipment for optimal educational outcomes.. The stresses and strains occurring in a vessel are not directly measured but are determined by measuring the strains on the surface using strain gauges.

• investigation of stresses in a thin-walled vessel under internal pressure
• cylinder can be used as open pipe or closed vessel
• strain gauge application on the vessel surface under varying angles
• hermetically sealed hydraulic system, maintenance-free, for generating the compressive load
• hydraulic system with hydraulic pump and manometer
• FL 152 measuring amplifier required
• software for analysing measured values in FL 152
