Influence of internal uniform corrosion on stability loss of a thin-walled spherical shell subjected to external pressure

• Stability loss of a loaded thin-walled spherical shell, subjected to internal corrosion, is shown. • The critical time of stability loss of the shell is found. • Increase in the safety coefficient for stability yields reduction of the relative durability. • Temperature growth leads to corrosion ra...

• Stability loss of a loaded thin-walled spherical shell, subjected to internal corrosion, is shown. • The critical time of stability loss of the shell is found. • Increase in the safety coefficient for stability yields reduction of the relative durability. • Temperature growth leads to corrosion rate increase and yields reduction of the vessel “life-time”. • The shell thickness increase yields an increase of the vessel critical time.
