Abstract: Linear three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) was performed on bolted pressure vessel joints to determine maximum stresses and stress concentration factors in the bolt head fillet as a ...

Abstract: An orthotropic hygrothermal stress solution has been formulated for an infinitely long fiber-reinforced tube of any number of plies of any material, with arbitrary orientation of each of the ...

Abstract: An aluminum mold was designed for fabrication of research quality composite tubes on a hot press (miniclave). This mold allows the pressure to be applied uniformly to the inner surface of a ...

Abstract: Axisymmetric finite element analysis (FEA) was performed on bolted joints to determine the effects of the threads on the bolt and member stiffnesses. For steel members, the member stiffness ...

Abstract: Linear finite element analysis (FEA) was performed to determine stress concentration factors for the threads and the bolt head fillet in a bolted connection. The FEA models consisted of ...
