... Abstract Exactly how we are to verify the design of HPHT equipment is still being debated. It is almost certain to involve some form of Finite Element Analysis (FEA). FEA is well established as a stress analysis method for use in conventional Pressure Vessel design; however it is not so well...

... an alternative design basis for HPHT equipment. This code relaxes some conditions on stress limits, but provides stringent criteria against fatigue-fracture failure - the most common failure mode in HPHT pressure vessels. In this study, a modified concept BOP was designed by iterative stress and fracture based...

... of their liquefied counterpart of LNG. The gas is stored in pressure vessels aboard a CNG ship that will then transport the gas to market. Depending on distance to market and the demands for non-interruptiple supply, multiple ships would be required to maintain "flow". One could consider the CNG solution comparable...

... Abstract The primary requirement for class approval of compressed natural gas (CNG) carriers is to certify the gas containment system. In the case of the Trans Ocean Gas method of CNG transport by ship, that means certifying the fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) pressure vessels intended...
