Abstract: Presence of initial shape imperfection causes additional bending stresses to be developed in a pressurized cylinder. Although the bending stress will initially increase with pressure, it will ...

Abstract: The maximum stress in a saddle-supported cylindrical storage vessel is often the circumferential stress developed at the tips (or horns) of the saddle support. Although the peak stress at the ...

Abstract: This article presents a parametric study for the determination of the flexibility and stiffness of a cylindrical shell at its support location. The parametric equation incorporates the geometric ...

Abstract: This article presents a simple second-order theory for the determination of bending stresses which arise at the longitudinal welded joint of a pressurized, cylindrical shell subject to peaking, ...

Abstract: Shot-peening induced residual stresses can be relaxed due to cyclic loading. This relaxation plays an important role in determining the fatigue life of the peened components. It is therefore ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the behavior of horizontal cylindrical vessels, subjected to thermal loading by high-temperature fluid, where the saddles are fixed to the supporting structure. In order ...
