Abstract: Conical closures for cylindrical tanks are easily fabricated and hence would be economical if not for the large stresses developed at the sharp-cornered junction between cylinder and cone, ...

Abstract: Grain storage silos are essentially pressure vessels, but unlike liquid or gas storage vessels, grain in silos is not always distributed axisymmetrically. Remnant grain obtained from discharging ...

Abstract: Procedures are developed for determining the stresses and displacements for pontoon-type floating roof structures subjected to the loading caused by the product leaking through punctures onto the ...
