Abstract: An analysis is developed for bending of a thin circular cylindrical shell under a varying radial line load distributed around the circumference at the center section. The problem is solved by ...

Abstract: A method is developed for estimating deflections in beams subjected to creep bending. Many structures which require lengthy calculations when solved by conventional methods can be analyzed easily ...

Abstract: This paper presents a survey of methods of analysis of the most common types of buckling in ring-reinforced cylinders under hydrostatic pressure. Shell buckling and general instability are ...

Abstract: Solutions are developed for bending and buckling of a circular ring with an arbitrary section under several types of loading. It is found that in-plane and out-of-plane deformations are coupled. ...

Abstract: A solution based upon the theory of elasticity is found for the maximum allowable bolt spacing in a flange assembly. The flanges are assumed to have flat faces and no gasket.

Abstract: An analysis is presented for a semi-infinite strip reinforced by flanges and subjected to concentrated in-plane loads at the ends of the flanges. The taper which results in constant flange ...

Abstract: The prediction of rupture life of several high temperature alloys (Hastelloy X, Type 316 stainless steel, Cb-1 Zr) was investigated analytically and experimentally for the case of linearly ...
