How Pressure Vessels Fail: Mechanisms, Case Studies, and Engineering Strategies for Prevention
Pressure vessel failures rarely happen the way textbooks describe them. Codes tell you how to design — but not how vessels actually fail in the field under real operating conditions, real materials, and real human decisions.
This live webinar, led by Chemical Engineer Jefy Jean Anuja Gladis, moves beyond code-based design into mechanism-driven failure analysis. Drawing on her experience in the German process engineering industry and a background shaped at Cornell University, Jefy will walk engineers through the stress systems, failure modes, and inspection blind spots that sit behind most incidents in chemical plants — and equip you with a practical framework to answer: given this vessel, operating condition, and material, what is most likely to fail, how, and when?
Webinar Objectives
Define what "failure" really means beyond rupture — including leakage, deformation, and fitness-for-service loss.
Identify the stress systems and failure drivers acting on pressure vessels in real operating conditions.
Recognize the major failure modes — fatigue, creep, brittle fracture, corrosion, and stress-driven mechanisms.
Select appropriate inspection and detection techniques matched to each failure mode.
Apply engineering prevention strategies grounded in real-world case studies and lessons from past incidents.
