Can Finite Element Analysis Programs Analyze Inflatable Vacuum Chambers?

AI Thread Summary
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) programs can be used to analyze inflatable vacuum chambers by assessing their stability based on geometry and external pressure conditions. The effectiveness of FEA depends on accurately modeling the inner and outer surfaces of the chamber. Users are seeking recommendations for specific FEA software suited for this analysis. Understanding the purpose of the inflatable vacuum chamber is also crucial for determining the appropriate analysis parameters. Overall, FEA can provide valuable insights into the structural integrity of inflatable vacuum chambers under varying conditions.

This summer i have an internship that expects me to write a program to analyze this inflatable vacuum chamber. The advisor wants to be able to put in a geometry and see if it will be stable. Would finite element analysis programs be able to do this? If so which one should I look into getting?

I have never heard of an inflatable vacuum chamber
 
Well I guess it is going to be a function of the inner surface outer surface and the pressure of the surrounding cell. I am not sure about the FEM.

What would be the purpose for this devise?
 

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
