Abstract

Expressions are derived for the expansion of cylindrical and spherical pressure vessels that creep at a constant temperature while being internally pressurized by a constant amount of an ideally behaving gas. The main portion of the initial volume of the pressure vessels is occupied by a rod or a ball-type insert to reduce the energy released or containment requirement if a rupture should occur.

Keywords:
creep tests, pressure vessels, expressions (mathematics), expansion, biaxial creep, cylindrical and spherical pressure vessels
