This paper describes the results of an optimisation study into the effects of changing geometrical variables local to the nozzle entry on a large pressure vessel. The purpose of the study was to quantify the effects of altering the geometry, and thereby provide trade-offs between key responses such as primary strength and shakedown performance. A 3D Finite Element model was built of a 90 degree sector of the pressure vessel which was sufficiently detailed to allow the thermal and structural effects of the vessel remote from the nozzle to be included. Specifically, this included the thermal and structural influence of the closure head and bolting assembly. The model was then parameterised for 5 independent variables, including the extent of the nozzle reinforcement, crotch corner fillet radius and nozzle thickness. The parameterised model was then subjected to a number of thermal and structural transient analyses during Level A operation, as well as a representative strength loadcase. A full factorial design study was undertaken, comprising of separate 243 analysis runs covering the 5 independent variables at 3 levels. A number of output metrics were monitored, and the effects on the output metrics resulting from changes to the inputs were quantified. Due to the full factorial nature of the experimental design, interactions between variables could also be investigated. The response for each output metric was then fitted to a response surface, which allows a polynomial (meta-model) of each metric to be calculated. These responses were input to a simple Excel chart which allows the designers to perform rapid what-if design scenarios, and see the resulting effects of their changes on the responses. This allows the trade-offs between responses, for example shakedown and strength trade-off for shell thickness, to be easily seen and quantified.

Two functional azobenzene derivatives with alkyl chains and different substituted groups have been synthesized and their photoisomerization have also been investigated. It has been found that depending on the alkyl chain and different substituted groups, the formed azobenzene derivatives showed different properties, indicating distinct regulation of molecular skeletons. UV and IR data confirmed commonly the characteristic absorption of alkyl chain and aromatic segments in molecular structures. Thermal analysis demonstrated that the structural influence of both compounds in different temperature ranges. The difference of thermal stability is mainly attributed to the formation of Schiff base group and different substituent groups in molecular structure. The photoisomerization of these compounds both in solution and in cast film can undergo trans-to-cis isomerization by UV light irradiation, depending on different substituted groups. The present results have demonstrated that the special properties of azobenzene derivatives can be effectively turned by modifying molecular structures of objective compounds with proper substituted groups, which show potential application in functional material field.
