Stress Concentration Factors in Spherical Vessels with Single Oblique Nozzle
author
Abstract:
Finite element method is employed to analyze the spherical vessel intersected by an oblique cylindrical nozzle. In this survey the stress and strain distributions on acute and obtuse sides of the connection under internal pressure are studied widely although axial and moment loadings on the nozzle are also studied briefly. Stress concentration factors for a wide range of geometrical ratios in term of membrane stress in the sphere are calculated and presented. Variation of these factors with angle of obliquity of the branch is also investigated. The results are compared with measured quantities and with those mentioned in other references. It is assumed that the definition of thin shell is valid for both vessel and nozzle simultaneously and that the corners are sharp without any reinforcement. ABAQUS computer program is used in this survey.

Purely elastic, partially and fully plastic stress states in a thick-walled spherical pressure vessel with an inner functionally graded material (FG) coating subjected to internal and external pressures are developed analytically in this paper. The modulus of elasticity and the uniaxial yield limit of the FG coating layer are considered to vary nonlinearly through the thickness. Using Tresca’s ...

Using the Frobenius series method (FSM), an analytical solution is developed to obtain mechanical stresses of thick spherical pressure vessels made of functionally graded materials (FGMs). The cylinder pressure vessel is subjected to uniform internal pressure. The modulus of elasticity is graded along the radial direction according to power functions of the radial direction. It is assumed that ...
