Recent research effort into some aspects of strength, static stability, and structural
optimization of horizontal pressure vessels is reviewed in this paper. Stress concentrations …

In this paper the problem of shape optimization of thin-walled pressure vessel heads is
investigated. Shape of a meridian which minimizes the functional containing a depth and …

The paper is devoted to a dished head of a pressure vessel subject to internal uniform
pressure. A short survey of optimal design of a pressure vessel and its head is presented …

The subject of the work is a typical ground-based horizontal cylindrical tank. Two load cases
are assumed: total internal pressure and total special pressure. A critical state of such a tank …

The paper describes attempts to find advantageous shape and configuration of a manhole
located in the upper part of a cylindrical pressure vessel. Manholes of circular and elliptical …

The paper is devoted to analysis of a dished head of a pressure vessel subject to internal
uniform pressure and provided with a nozzle. A short survey of optimal design of the …

In this article the problem of shape and thickness optimization of uniform-strength thin-
walled pressure vessel heads subjected to internal pressure is investigated. The optimal …

This paper deals with the problem of optimal vessel end closures subjected to internal
pressure. This research aims to analyse the shapes of the middle surfaces in the case of one …

The most important concern in design of filament-wound composite pressure vessels reflects
on the determination of the optimum shape and optimum laminate stacking sequence of …

The work is devoted to a horizontal tank composed of cylindrical shell closed with ellipsoidal
heads and supported at the ends. The tank is loaded with internal or external pressure. For …
