Project Summary
This project included the design, analysis, testing, and production of a pressure vessel used to test sub-sea connectors in bulk. The pressure vessel is rated to 5,000psi of pressure, and I designed it using a urethane backing making it pressure compensated, which allows for the use of thinner enclosure material. I chose aluminum for corrosion resistance and cost-effectiveness. I calculated the maximum stresses on the vessel using hand calculations and FEA in ANSYS, and also conducted buckling analysis in ANSYS. I designed an o-ring seal to ensure the vessel remained water-tight and managed all material procurement, fabrication, and assembly. After assembly, I conducted pressure testing to validate its structural integrity.
