Extract

The use of multilobed pressure vessels is not new. Such structures have been used in civil engineering applications for many years. It has been recognised that substantial weight savings are possible by reducing the radius of curvature by lobing. Usually the resulting discontinuity stresses at the junctions of the lobes have been balanced by attaching flat plates.
