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 concerns the development of a simplified procedure for designing carbon adsorption column. The basic approach employed in this piece of work was to manipulate the mathematical expressions for both the fractional ...

Abstract: A theory is presented to analyze the effectiveness of incorporating a wear plate at the saddle support of a cylindrical pressure vessel. The wear plate can be either welded to the vessel or ...

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: Concrete-filled fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tubes (CFFTs) have been studied extensively under almost all loading conditions, except torsion. In this pioneering study, six 168-mm-diameter samples were tested in pure ...

Abstract: The combined torsion and bending response of concrete-filled fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tubes (CFFTs) was investigated in this study. The CFFT samples were produced from the same 166-mm-diameter nearly cross-ply filament ...
