This document - Pressure vessels are of immense importance in most of the industries today & are drastically used in
many fields such as chemical, petroleum, military industries as well as in nuclear power plants. Catastrophic accidents can
occur due to rupture of pressure & as a result they should be designed & analysed with immense care & precision. The exact
estimation of stresses due to the applied mechanical & thermal loads are the common problems faced by any engineer while
designing the vessel.
