Analysis for Design of Fiber Reinforced Plastic Vessels

This book is [for] designers of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) plastic tanks, vessels and piping, particularly those in the chemical processing industry. . . . As chemical processing equipment, these vessels and pipings have many discontinuous regions in their structures such as manhole connections, nozzles, supports, joints, etc. They are also subjected to different loadings such as internal pressure, external pressure, thermal loads, lateral loads, etc. This makes the structure of these vessels complicated.

Since its publication, this book has become a widely used guide and reference for those involved in the design and analysis of FRP vessels and piping and the varieties of FRP materials used in them. This book can be ordered alone or with the companion software, CADFRP 3.0.
