Parametric stress distribution in 3D printed polymer quadric-surfaced sludge digesters

Ramroop, Navin; Tota-Maharaj, Kiran; Anoyatis, George

Abstract

The stresses developed in the shell of the quadric surfaced sludge digester, vary according to the height-to-diameter ratio. The optimum dimensions of a 3D printed polymer digester due to hydrostatic loading is evaluated through finite element analysis.
