Part 1: Stresses In Spherical Vessels From Local Loads Transferred By A Pipe
Summary
A method is presented for computing the stresses in a spherical vessel from radial loads and external moments transferred by a pipe, taking account of the radius and wall thickness of the pipe and of a reinforcing pad on the vessel.Also other kinds of local loadings on a spherical vessel are reviewed.
