STRESS AND STABILITY ANALYSIS OF CYLINDRICAL AND CONICAL SHELLS. VOLUME III. AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF THE STRESS IN CYLINDRICAL SHELLS SUBJECTED TO SMALL PAD LOADS.

Abstract

The report contains results of an experimental investigation to determine the stresses in a thin-walled cylindrical shell subjected to a radial load applied by a small, rectangular pad. Four loading devices are studies: 3 rubberlined pad configurations, 1 pneumatic bag, constrained to apply a load over a rectangular area. There is sufficient duplication of test parameters to check repeatability of results. The test results show rather close agreement with available theoretical values. (Author)
