STRUCTURAL THERMO-MECHANICS

Abstract

A method has been elaborated for the dimensioning and design of heat isulated vessels, through which the mechanical element can be given thermo-dynamical and the thermotechnical element can be given strength function. In the case of plane-walled vessels we achieved a rather favourable design. Vessels dimensioned in this way contain considerably less steel and have a more advantageous heat isulation. A further result is the generalized method elaborated for the optimal design of multi-element, multi-function structures.
