Abstract

As an aid in the design of vessels or containers in a process undergoing dynamic loading, the dynamic characteristics of a cylindrical scale model vessel have been investigated by the method of resonance testing. The scale model is 1/10th scale of a vessel in a process, comprising a cylinder and torispherical head of steel.The dynamic characteristics of the scale model vessel and the normalised principal bending stresses are calculated and tabulated for a number of circumferential modes of vibration, for an empty vessel.Practical problems associated with the method of vibration testing are discussed and a practical example shown of the use of the method of dynamic similarity and the scale model results, as an aid in the design of a full scale vessel.
