FORMULAS AND METHODS USED IN THE ANALYSIS OF PRESSURE VESSELS,
Abstract
The purpose of this report is to make available a compact summary of the formulas and methods used in the stress analysis of thin pressure vessels. The first part deals only with membrane forces and deformations resulting from pressure loading in shells of revolution. The formulas associated with axisymmetric edge loadings arising from discontinuities in the structure have been treated in the second part. The last part of the report is concerned with methods to predict unknown edge (discontinuity) forces and moments at junctures of shells. The entire formulation is restricted to pressure vessels where shell components fall into the category of 'thin,' 'steep,' and constant thickness shells of revolution. Furthermore, no coupling of edge effects is allowed. (Author)
