R. Preiss et al., THE FLAT END TO CYLINDRICAL-SHELL CONNECTION - LIMIT LOAD AND CREEP DESIGN, International journal of pressure vessels and piping, 75(10), 1998, pp. 715-726
The influence of the shear force, acting at the cylinder-plate interse
ction, on the limit load pressure is shown, and graphs for the determi
nation of the Limit load pressure as well as the required plate thickn
ess for a limit load design are given. The (ideal) plastic nonlinear v
iscoelastic analogue in generalized stresses for the determination of
(highly nonlinear) creep results from given limit load results is desc
ribed, and its usefulness and (technically satisfying) accuracy shown
by means of two examples. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
