Abstract: The state of stress in a cylindrical shell containing a circular cutout was determined for axial tension, torsion, and internal pressure loading. The solution was obtained for the shallow shell ...

Abstract: A two-parameter fracture criterion previously applied to flat plates has been extended to cylindrical and spherical shells. It is applicable to all modes of fracture including net section stress ...

Abstract: Statistical analyses of pressure vessel failure rates indicate that, to date, the record is very good. However, the public hazard and environmental consequences of failure in certain industrial ...

Abstract: A proposal put forward by Liebowitz and Eftis suggests a method of accounting for nonlinear behavior observed in fracture. A simple model analysis of a center crack sheet and supporting ...
