Computer Aided Design of Fiber Reinforced Plastic Tanks and Vessels

Download or read book Computer Aided Design of Fiber Reinforced Plastic Tanks and Vessels written by W. Steve Cui and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1995-01 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CADFRP is an improved computer program to assist in the design and analysis of FRP vessels and piping. It enables designers and engineers to easily and quickly perform the many calculations involved in the determination of stress and strain values in the individual layers of FRP vessels and pipes. The capability to determine critical pressures for both the shells and heads, and critical thickness for each head type has also been incorporated. The program is based on laminate theory, as presented in Dr. Hoa's book, Analysis for Design of Fiber Reinforced Plastic Vessels and Pipings.
