Scale Model Tests of Main Steam Piping of AN1, USS Monitor

Abstract

The end reactions of a main steam pipe system having nine points of constraint have been determined by the use of a scale model. The reaction forces and moments determined by this experimental method are found to differ considerably in many cases from calculated values. The piping system is of such complicated nature that these differences are not unreasonable.
