Numerical Stress Analysis of Uniform and Stiffened Hydraulic Cylinder

Vijaysingh S. Chauhan, Sameer Q. Syed

Abstract: This study deals with the stress analysis of thick cylinder using Finite Element Method. The analysis was carried out in commercially available software ANSYSTM 15.0. The proposed work is aimed to analyze the cylinder with the stiffener under static load conditions for different cross-section geometries for the same area. In this study the effect of various stiffener on cylinders for Von-Misses stress (VM), Circumferential stress (??) has been investigated.

Keywords: Static loading, stiffener stress analysis, thick cylinder
