Layered-Wall Cylindrical Pressure Vessel

LWCPV.3.zip includes:

1. A macro enabled Excel workbook (LWCPV.xlsm) for preliminary
design and analysis of long cylindrical, layered-wall pressure vessels
(PVs) subjected to external hydrostatic pressure. The following
four types of layered-wall construction are addressed:

a. Two-layer isotropic.
b. Three-layer isotropic sandwich-wall; and
c. Three-layer sandwich-wall with orthotropic outer layers and
isotropic core.
d. Three-layer sandwich-wall with isotropic outer layers and
orthotropic core.

Stress-strain solutions for all constructions are based on thick-wall
three-dimensional elastic theory. Elastic Monocoque Instability
pressure is calculated.

Instructions on using each worksheet are given therein.

2. Technical notes outlining the underlying theory and discussing the
above four types of PVs.
