Wall thickness optimization of thick-walled spherical vessel using thermo-elasto-plastic concept
, Article International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping ; Volume 82, Issue 5 , 2005 , Pages 379-385 ; 03080161 (ISSN) ; Rezai Zarei, A ; Darijani, H ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
A study of thick-walled spherical vessels under steady-state radial temperature gradients using elasto-plastic analysis is reported. By considering a maximum plastic radius and using the thermal autofrettage method for the strengthening mechanism, the optimum wall thickness of the vessel for a given temperature gradient across the vessel is obtained. Finally, in the case of thermal loading on a vessel, the effect of convective heat transfer on the optimum thickness is considered, and a general formula for the optimum thickness and design graphs for several different cases are presented. © 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract
Governing equilibrium equations of thick-walled spherical vessels made of material following linear strain hardening and subjected to a steady-state radial temperature gradient using elasto-plastic analysis are derived. By considering a maximum plastic radius and using the concept of thermal autofrettage for the strengthening mechanism, the optimum wall thickness of the vessel for a given temperature gradient across the wall thickness is obtained. Finally, in the case of thermal loading on a vessel, the effect of convective heat transfer on the optimum thickness is studied and a general formula for the optimum wall thickness and design graphs for several different cases are presented. © 2008...
