Özet:

 

This study presents a new end-closure design, using a  numerical approach, to eliminate the buckling that occurs at the  bottom end of DOT-4BA propane cylinders.  When the bottom heads are  subjected to test pressure they often buckle, which causes instability  of the propane cylinders.  That instability is the cylinder's loss of  upright standing.  The buckling was predicted using both experimental  and numerical approaches, and a proposed solution to prevent the  failure by increasing the material was previously reported.  An  alternative end closure design is developed in this study to eliminate  the end buckling without changing the material.  In order to model the  new end, a computer-aided finite element analysis (FEA) design tool  was employed.  Two different FEA models, 2D plane and 3D shell, were  created and simulated in nonlinear conditions.  The results obtained  from the simulations are compared to previous corresponding studies.
