saddle design
saddle design
(OP)
what are the last resort when we are designing horizontal vessel containing saddle structure
Trial 5: Move saddles to A = 0.2L and saddle angle= 120 and design ring stiffeners in the plane of the saddles
if vessel is not stable inspite of using 3 stiffners right over the saddle
next step is to increase the shell thickness
if my shell material is exotic material, client will not allow me to increase the thickness also
can you guys please give me any guidance to how make vessel structurally stable

RE: saddle design
In general, where the problem is overstress in the shell itself, you'd widen the saddles, increase the saddle angle, add wear plates, etc., depending on which stress was exceeded.

Might help if you gave us a picture or drawing of the set up you're having a problem with.
Re read your post and then think if all you knew about the problem is what you have written in that first post how would you answer it.
