Photoelastic Investigation of the Stress Concentrations in Longitudinal Sections of Corrugated Pipe for U.S. Naval Experiment Station, Annapolis, MD

Abstract

This photo elastic investigation has dealt with stresses in longitudinal sections of corrugated pipe. The work has been supplementary to a broader problem which has been conducted at the Engineering Experiment Station, Annapolis, Maryland. The work at that station on corrugated pipe comprised physical tests on steel pipe and stress analysis by the analytical methods of the theory of elasticity. The cooperative work has included tests on models of sections from two samples of pipe submitted by the Experiment Station. It has also included a study of the maximum stress in each of a series of seven theoretically designed models in which the curvature of the corrugation was the only variable, and another series of 3 models in which the depth of corrugation was the only variable.
