propane tank burst analysis

About this project

covers the plasticity analysis. for the meshing, simulation and posprocessing of a structural analysis including plasticity. The case is the pressure burst of a gas tank. The basic idea is to apply an increasing internal pressure to the tank and check for stress levels and plasticity formations. This way we can find the safe operation pressure and the maximum allowable pressure. For this we will perform a non-linear simulation with an elastic-perfectly plastic material model (aka. bi-linear).
