Sec.14 Calculation example: two pressure vessels – Page 186<br />

2.6.3 A complete analysis should include all parts of the component and all phases.<br />

2.7 Failure modes (ref. Sec.3 [7])<br />

2.7.1 The minimum list of failure modes is evaluated in Table 14-6 for the laminate of the main body.<br />

modes<br />

Fracture (local or global) Relevant<br />

Buckling (local or global) Not relevant, since we have no compressive loads. (The liner may see compressive loads<br />

after yielding. Such loads can potentially cause buckling)<br />

Burst<br />

Here same as fracture, since no high rate loads are applied<br />

Leakage<br />

Relevant<br />

Impact<br />

Relevant, if tools can be dropped on the vessel etc.<br />

Excessive deformation,<br />

Ovalisation,<br />

Excessive displacement<br />

Wear<br />

No other failure modes than the ones given in the table have been identified.<br />

2.7.2 The evaluation above should be carried out for all parts of the vessel, but this is not covered in the example.<br />

2.7.3 The relevant failure modes shall be linked to the functional requirements of each part of the component.<br />

In the present example this link is only considered for the main body of the vessel, as shown in Table 14-7.<br />

2.7.4 Discussions regarding the link between failure mode and limit state should take place between the<br />

designer and the client. All failures related to modes that lead to pressure loss or leakage are considered to be<br />

Ultimate Limit States (ULS) in this example, i.e. all failure modes are linked to an ULS condition.<br />

2.8 Loads (ref. Sec.3 [9])<br />

Relevant for vessel with liner, because the liner may have a failure strain that should not be<br />

exceeded. This strain may put a limit on the strain of the body of the vessel. Otherwise not<br />

relevant, since the vessel has no restrictions on deformation. Large deformations may be<br />

linked to some other failure modes, will be covered by analysing the other failure modes.<br />

Not relevant, since nothing slides over the vessel.<br />

Pressure containment Fracture, local fracture Shall always be checked.<br />

Impact<br />

Damage from impact may effect capacity to contain pressure.<br />

Excessive deformation Relevant if deformation is large enough to cause the liner to fail.<br />

Leakage<br />

Related to fracture, but often just a gradual release of fluid from a<br />

pressure vessel. Fracture will cause leakage, but other minor failure<br />

mechanisms may also cause leakage. Failure consequence is often less<br />

critical and related to normal safety class, but it depends on the fluid.<br />

2.8.1 For each load a characteristic value shall be established. A checklist of common loads is given in App.A<br />

in the standard. Only pressure load is considered in this example as shown in Table 14-8 and Table 14-9.<br />

The peak pressure is the maximum pressure the system can reach.<br />
