Abstract An experimental stress-strain analysis by means of the Moiré method was conducted in the area of the tread and belt regions of tire sections. A special loading fixture was designed to support the tire section and load it in a manner simulating service loading and allowing for Moiré measurements. The specimen was loaded by imposing a uniform fixed deflection on the tread surface and increasing the internal pressure in steps. Moiré fringe patterns were recorded and analyzed to obtain strain components at various locations of interest. Maximum strains in the range of 1–7% were determined for an effective inflation pressure of 690 kPa (100 psi). These results were in substantial agreement with results obtained by a finite element stress analysis.

A finite element stress analysis is presented of a trunnion pipe anchor. The structure is analyzed for the case of internal pressure and various end moment loadings. Stress results were post-processed and decomposed into average and linear varying (through the wall thickness). These decomposed values were then interpreted within the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code to estimate primary and secondary stress indices. Several computer runs were made for a variety of structural sizes and empirical formulas were developed expressing the stress indices as a function of certain dimensionless ratios.

The authors have used the BERSAFE finite element computer program to model an equal diameter branch pipe intersection of mean diameter/thickness ratio 24.5. Previous results for internal pressure and the two in-plane bending moments are augmented by the present results for the two out-of-plane and the two twisting moment load categories. The predicted stresses are compared with results from tests on a 254 mm (10 inch) diameter welded branch junction, and also with the values from the current UK power piping code BS 806.
