Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present a study of the effect of a geometri c gap between the cylindrical shell and reinforcement pad on the local stre sses in the area of the intersection when the nozzle is subjected to moment loading. Experimental and finite element analyses were performed on two te st vessels (four nozzles). A comparative study of stresses in the intersect ion region for different geometric gaps was also carried out.
