PRECISION AND STABILITY OF THE PREDICTION FORMULA FOR BURST STRENGTH OF PRESSURE-BEARING CYLINDER by LIU Cen, YANG Fan, WU SengLin, HONG Kai, ZHANG Shu, LIU XiaoNing

“…When the applied range of the Rheological stress formula for measured burst pressure was not less than 220 MPa,and the applied range of the Faupel formula for measured burst pressure was not less than 250 MPa,the precision of the two formulas is not significantly different,and the stability of Rheological stress formula is obviously better than Faupel formula.For Mid-diameter or Tresca formula with measured burst pressure not exceeding 329. 6 MPa,and for Rheological stress formula with measured burst pressure not less than 220 MPa,the stability of Mid-diameter or Tresca formula is obviously better than the Rheological stress formula,and the precision is higher than the Rheological stress formula.（ 3） For flat steel ribbon wound pressure vessel with measured burst pressure was not exceed 209. 7 MPa,the precision and stability of Mid-diameter formula is lower than that of four predictor formulas of burst pressure for pressure-bearing single-layer cylinder.…”
