Abstract: Thermal stresses in cylinders, perfectly insulated on the outside and subjected to internal heat generation due to γ-ray radiation, are considered. Numerical values for the governing stress are ...

Abstract: An elastic analysis of U-shaped expansion joints under axial loads and internal or external pressure is presented. The analysis employs the energy method for the toroidal sections, and the ...

Abstract: Factors determining the performance of welded skirt supports for vertical process vessels are discussed. The importance of thermal effects is emphasized. A comprehensive analysis of local stresses ...

Abstract: This paper presents a solution for the problem of three cylindrical shells, one of which is slotted lengthwise. With slot length as one of the parameters, the solution includes the solid ...

Abstract: Solutions are presented for the bursting strength of thin-walled cylinders of finite length with various end restraints, including (a) two rigid end plates, (b) two hemispherical caps, and (c) ...

Abstract: The stress distribution in circular bends formed from straight pipe and subjected to internal pressure is presented. The analysis determines first the thickness distribution after forming, followed ...
