Impact of an Internal Polymeric Liner on the Fatigue Strength of Pressure Vessels Under Internal Pressure
Authors: , ,
Abstract: This paper presents a new original idea about the fatigue strength of pressure vessels. It tries to examine the impact of the internal liner on the fatigue strength of pressure vessels. The liner is mainly used to protect the structure against corrosive products such as hydrocarbons. This study states that the installation of a super-elastic polymer coating can help to solve several problems related to pressure vessels. In addition to the protection against corrosion, this coating may contribute to the improvement of the fatigue strength of structures as well as the prevention of sudden leaks. Moreover, this paper has proposed two main examinations; the first is an attempt to compare different susceptible materials used as liners. Besides, parametric study is performed during the second examination with the previously selected material for the optimal thickness.
