413: Vacuum Vessel

Linear static stress analysis and linear buckling analysis of a vacuum vessel. Both a plate element model and solid element model were used across the 4 load cases analysed. In the solid element model, beam elements were also used to represent the bolts. Upon completion, the stresses shown were well below allowables and the lowest buckling load was many times the design load.
