Abstract: Parametric study of the thin shell solution of internally pressurized spherical vessel–cylindrical nozzle juncture is used to develop simplified closedform formulas of stress concentration factor (SCF) as functions of ...

Abstract: In a related work previously carried out by the authors, finite element analysis of cylindrical vessel–cylindrical nozzle juncture based on the use of thin shell theory, due to the fact that the intersecting nozzle sizes ...
