Abstract: Methods are described for constructing a fatigue curve based on strain-fatigue data for use in pressure vessel design. When this curve is used, the same fatigue strength-reduction factor should ...

Abstract: In this paper the authors consider the various possible modes of failure of a pressure vessel intended for long service and show which material properties are of significance in preventing ...

Abstract: New constant-deflection amplitude fatigue data on bolting materials are presented. The relationship of cyclic yield strength to static yield strength is examined. Several series of full-size stud ...

Abstract: This paper describes a method for calculating stresses and deflections in perforated plates with a triangular penetration pattern. The method is based partly on theory and partly on experiment. ...

Abstract: A finite difference approximation to the Love-Meissner equations for the ellipsoidal shell was used to calculate stresses in thin-walled pressure vessels with ellipsoidal heads. Calculations were ...
