Design optimization of pressure vessel support Frame Using Finite Element Analysis

Pressure vessel support frame There are many types of structures all around us. Each structure has a specific purpose or function. Some structures are simple, while others are complex; however there are two basic principles of composing structures. They must be capable of carrying the loads that they are designed for without collapsing. They must support the various parts of the external load in the correct relative position. A structure refers to a system with connected parts used to support a load. Some examples related to civil engineering are buildings, bridges and towers. However, these structures are very complex for analyze and design. At first, we will consider simple examples of structures and parts of structures like beams, trusses, frames etc.
