Abstract: Stresses and deflections of hemispherical shells with nozzle openings lying on the axis of symmetry may be determined accurately and rapidly with the aid of the tables given in the paper. The ...

Abstract: Continuing the work presented in reference [1], the present paper gives additional tables for the edge deformations of constant-thickness toroidal shells subject to edge bending loads and uniform ...

Abstract: A description is given of the utility of influence coefficients for analyzing pressure vessels. To illustrate their advantages two relatively complex problems were selected and their final stress ...

Abstract: Tables are given for the edge deformations of constant-thickness toroidal shells subject to uniform pressure and edge bending loads. Over one hundred different shell geometries were investigated ...

Abstract: A simple equation is proposed which will enable a designer to estimate the onset of buckling in internally pressurized steel torispherical end closures. The equation applies to both crown and ...

Abstract: In this note the relations between the internal forces in a shell membrane and the corresponding deformations are derived for shells with oblique rectilinear planforms. The derivation is an ...

Abstract: Elastic and elastic-plastic buckling pressures for internally-pressurized 2:1 ellipsoidal shells with diameter-thickness ratios in the range 750 < D/t < 1500 are given in the paper. The ...

Abstract: Several aluminum and mild steel torispherical heads were tested by Galletly and by Kirk and Gill and subsequently analyzed by Bushnell with use of the BOSOR5 computer program. The thinnest ...

Abstract: The test results on biaxially compressed metallic cylinders published before 1983, together with some early ones from a test program underway at Liverpool University, were plotted in terms of ...
