Abstract: Compact reinforcement for a series of models having single nozzles radially attached to spherical shells was examined by means of finite element analyses. Parameters studied were diameter-to-thickness ...

Abstract: The effect of varying the radii of circumferential fillets in the transition region of cylindrical shells with a step change in outside diameter and loaded with internal pressure has been ...

Abstract: Four carefully machined cylinder-to-cylinder shell models were tested, and the experimentally determined stresses were compared with theoretical predictions obtained from a thin-shell finite-element ...

Abstract: A series of steel models having single nozzles radially and nonradially attached to a spherical shell is presently being examined by means of strain gages. Parameters being studied are nozzle ...
