FEA full modeling analysis #18

Closed nab2 closed 7 years ago

nab2 commented 7 years ago

Begin developing full FEA model of the tank under current designs in order to locate stress concentrations due to pressure loads and thermal stresses. Will be able to use this to help determine thickness of lapping portion of ring design or any other necessary changes due to failure/stress concentrations.

Prelim model generated, needs further refinement for any future FEA work (if applicable or deemed necessary/helpful)
