Abstract—Thispaper presents analysis results of stresses in pressure vessel of hemispherical, ellipsoidal and torospherical end connection. Here Von-Mises stresses, membrane stresses, total displacements and total mass of model are obtained for connections. The connections are the weakest areas where high stresses are seen. The finite element analysis software is used to analyze Shell-End connections. These connections are highly stressed joints. The results are obtained from 3-D Finite Element Analysis (FEA).

Keywords- IndexTerms—Hemispherical end connection; ellipsoidal end connection; torospherical end connection; stresses; finite element analysis, pressure vessels.
