Abstract

Not Available This project will investigate the use of titanium sandwich panels for use on an overpressurization containment system. The manufacturing technique used will allow material to be added to the box in an efficient way and is cost effective. The joining method used is a one step process that creates no discernable change in material properties. It also has the advantage of allowing easy forming of contoured shapes. This lowers maximum pressure, allows incorporation of blast vents, accommodates a variety of interfaces, and allows a structurally efficient pressure resistant design. A series of parametric computer models will be used to analyze the maximum pressure and required vent activation pressure and cross-sectional area, after determination of the maximum credible incident for the AAAV box. A prototype cross-section test specimen will be manufactured to validate and demonstrate key features of the optimized design.
