Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructural Integrity Assessment of High-Pressure Vessels for Hydrogen Storage Using Finite Element AnalysisPinar Mert Cuce, Erdem Cuce et al.Hydrogen is not only present in the structure of most substances but also attracts attention as a clean energy source. The fact that hydrogen only releases water through combustion and possesses high energy potential provides a significant advantage as an alternative energy source. This paper presents a numerical investigation into the stress and deformation behaviour of high-pressure vessels used in … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 13 Jun 2026 · 1,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractANSYS Numerical Modeling of Confined Deep Beam with High Strength ConcreteSyahril Taufik, Elia Anggarini, Ichwan SetiawanIn the numerical modeling presented, the deep beam is accounted for by means of a three dimensional FEA ANSYS 13.0 approach, in which the structure is modeled with load-displacement-based solid finite elements, whereas the internal work structure interacted by high strength concrete and reinforcement in full scale. Most deep beam collapse is dominated by the shear brittle collapse. Recently, confinement … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 10 Feb 2020 · 6,953 accessesView PDFCite
