Problem:
- To validate hose design provided by customer using FEA.
- Hose to withstand 120 mmHg vacuum pressure.
- Suggest changes if required to meet design specification
Design, Calculations & Solution:
- FEA performed on 3D CAD model provided by Customer.
- Identify areas collapsing at 59 mmHg.
- Iterations with thicker ribs on the periphery of hose for 78 mmHg.
- esign further optimized till 120 mmHg
