Description
Pressure Vessels are common pieces of equipment in industry used to store large amounts of fluid. Generally, they rest on loadcells. This dual-purposed research experimentally proves the effects of dynamic wind loading on pressure vessel loadcells and explores surface imaging techniques to analyze a fracture within a broken loadcell.
