Do email me, maybe I can help, fwd me the all info required..namasral@gmail.com
I just paid 90 USD for downloading this spreadsheet. It does not seem to help me.
I need to design a small rectangular water tank in SUS 304. Max pressure is 10 bar. Largest side is 1 m x 0.3 m. I need to find plate thickness and amount of stiffening required. Are you able to help me out?
Thanks,
J Kamisetty
The formula that I used for the reactions on the stiffeners is directly out of the 8th edition of the "Pressure Vessel Handbook" by Megyesy (the scanned image at the top of the spreadsheet), not that that necesarily gaurantees that it is correct, I have found some errors in it myself. My assumption as to why the reactions on the stiffeners is scaled to 70% is that Megyesy is giving some credit to the plate itself in resisting the horizontal force.
I am always open to any and all sugestions on how to better engineer things, especially from those with more experience than myself. So please by all means share any thoughts and experiences with me that you'd like.
Thank You very much for your comments and I look forward to more.
