The problem of stress concentration around cutouts in shells is an important one in the design of nuclear pressure vessels, boilers, pressure hulls of submarines, aircraft structures, pipe connections and tube and ball mills used in chemical industries. By using the finite-difference scheme suggested by Budiansky, the solution to the problem of a cylindrical shell without a cutout, subjected to an asymmetric load, is derived first. Then, the negatives of the stress resultants and stress couples at a given radius obtained from the above solution are combined with a transverse shear force to form the edge conditions for a circular cylindrical shell containing a circular cutout of radius a. The desired results are finally obtained by superposing these two solutions.

Equations describing the stress field and velocity field occurring in a circular cylindrical shell at plastic collapse are derived corresponding to stress states lying on each face of a yield surface for a uniform shell of material obeying the Tresca yield condition. They are then applied to the case of a shell under combined axisymmetric loadings (moment, shear force, and axial force) at one end and uniform internal or external pressure on the lateral surface. For a sufficiently long shell, complete solutions are obtained for a fixed far end, and for a certain range of values of axial force and pressure, they are obtained for a free far end. All the solutions are represented by either closed form or by quadratures. It is shown that in many cases the radial velocity field is proportional to the shear force.

Circular Cutout

A long circular cylindrical shell is to be pierced with a circular cutout, and it is desired to design a plane annular reinforcing ring which will restore the shell to its initial strength. Upper and lower bounds on the design of the reinforcement are obtained. Although these bounds are far a part, it is conjectured that the upper bound, in addition to being safe, is reasonably close to the minimum weight design. Some suggestions for further work on the problem are advanced.

Limiting Value

The state of stress in a cylindrical shell containing a circular cutout was determined for axial tension, torsion, and internal pressure loading. The solution was obtained for the shallow shell equations by a variational method. The results were expressed in terms of a nondimensional curvature parameter which was a function of shell radius, shell thickness, and hole radius. The function chosen for the solution was such that when the radius of the cylindrical shell approaches infinity, the flat-plate solution was obtained. The results are compared with solutions obtained by more rigorous analytical methods, and with some experimental results. For small values of the curvature parameter, the agreement is good. For higher values of the curvature parameter, the present solutions indicate a limiting value of stress concentration, which is in contrast to previous results.

A theoretical study has been made into the elastic behavior of a joint formed by the normal intersection of a right circular cylindrical shell with another of larger diameter. The wall of the larger cylinder is assumed to remain open inside the joint in order to give an arrangement which is encountered frequently in pressure vessels or pipeline intersections. An external bending moment which acts in the plane of the joint is applied to the nozzle cylinder and is equilibriated by moments of half this magnitude applied to either end of the parent cylinder. A solution for this loading has been obtained by assuming antisymmetric distributions of certain stresses across a plane transverse to the joint. The analysis presented is believed to be valid for nozzle to cylinder diameter ratios of less than 1:3. Numerical results are given for a number of cases having radius ratios of 1:10 and 1:4.

In this investigation, the stress distribution due to uniaxial tension of an infinitely long, thin, circular cylindrical shell with two equal small circular holes located along a generator is obtained. The problem is solved by the superposition of solutions previously obtained for a cylinder with a single circular hole. The satisfaction of boundary conditions on the free surfaces of the holes, together with uniqueness and overall equilibrium conditions, yields an infinite set of linear algebraic equations involving Hankel and Bessel functions of complex argument. The stress distribution along the boundaries of the holes and the interior of the shell is investigated. In particular, the value of the maximum stress is calculated for a wide range of parameters, including the limiting case in which the holes almost touch and the limiting case in which the radius of the cylinder becomes very large. As is the case for a flat plate, the stress-concentration factor is reduced by the presence of another hole.
