This paper presents the numerical approach for the stress analysis of the intersecting shells. For a systematic study of this problem, the classification of the model joints is introduced. Stress analysis has been made with the application of the finite element method based on the modified mixed formulation. The developed special-purpose computer program SAIS is used for elastic stress analysis of the model joints of the intersecting shells. Comparison of the calculated and experimental results for ORNL-1 model are presented for internal pressure and moment loadings. The parametric study of the model joints of the intersecting cylindrical shells under internal pressure loading was performed. The presented results show the effects of changing various geometric and angular parameters on the maximum effective stresses in the shells.

Thin shell theory and finite element method were used to investigate shell intersections with torus transition. The developed special-purpose computer program SAIS is employed for elastic stress analysis of the shell intersections. Comparison of calculated results with experimental data are presented. The parametric study of models for the radial nozzle connections in shells under internal pressure loading was performed. The results are presented in graphical form. Nondimensional geometric parameters are considered to analyze the effects of changing these parameters on stress ratios in the shell intersections.

This paper presents the numerical procedure for the stress analysis of the intersecting shells consisting of an ellipsoidal shell and nozzle. Thin shell theory and finite element method are used. The developed special-purpose computer program SAIS is employed for elastic stress analysis of the model joints of the ellipsoidal shell with nozzle. The parametric study of the joints under internal pressure loading was performed. The results are presented in graphical form. Nondimensional geometric parameters are considered to analyze the effects of changing these parameters on the maximum effective stresses in the shells.

Identical Diameter

Elastic stress analysis of a right angle tee branch pipe connection of two pipes of identical diameter and thickness connected through 45-deg chamfer corner sections is developed for internal pressure loading. Stresses in the crotch portion of the vessel are determined. These results are presented in the form of a table of factors useful for rapid calculation of approximate values of the peak stresses. The existence of a structurally optimum size of chamfer is demonstrated.

The bifurcation of long elastic-plastic cylindrical shells subject to internal pressure is investigated. It is assumed that the end conditions are such that plane strain conditions prevail. For thin shells, simple approximate bifurcation criteria are obtained analytically. The finite-element method is then employed, in conjunction with separation of variables, to obtain the bifurcation conditions for cylindrical shells with arbitrary thickness to radius ratios. For sufficiently thin shells, the numerical and the analytical results are in good agreement for the critical pressure at bifurcation. The numerical and analytical results both indicate that, for sufficiently thin shells, a variety of bifurcation modes are available virtually simultaneously at this critical pressure. However, for thicker shells, the numerical results reveal that there is a single preferred bifurcation mode. The mode number associated with this preferred bifurcation mode depends on the thickness to radius ratio. The possibility of bifurcation occurring before the attainment of the maximum pressure is also explored. For the specific cases investigated here, bifurcation always occurs after the maximum pressure point.
