ON THE PROBLEM OF ANGULAR MISALIGNMENT AT LONGITUDINAL WELD JOINTS OFCYLINDRICAL-SHELLS

Angular misalignment at longitudinal weld joints has been discussed in the literature in the form of a local type of geometric deviation fro m the ideal cylinder, restricted to the vicinity of the weld joint. In this paper a (more likely) global type of deviation, resulting from a residual moment and a residual force, is treated in detail, and the s tress concentration factor for first- and second-order theory is deriv ed and discussed, especially with regard to the measurement procedure which has been proposed.
