On Nonlinear Pressure Coupling in Cylindrical Shell Analysis

Abstract

Two well known thin shell theories are used to evaluate and compare shears and moments at the juncture of two pressurized cylindrical shells. For highly pressurized cylinders with large radius-thickness ratios the numerical results indicate that nonlinear coupling effects of pressure significantly influence computed values of discontinuity shears and moments.
