how rigid shoud an endplate to a pipe be?
(OP)
A thick circular disk as an endplate is attached to the end of a pipe section.
On the free face, along the centreline of this disk a plate is welded perpendicular to the disk. Let us call this a tab
The load is tensile to the pipe through the tab
This is a familiar setting in pipe setting connections where the tab doesnt go through the pipe.
Any manual calculations for these. We use rules of thumb (like 20% of pipe diameter for disk thickness) or finite element analysis
Any manual calculations or references will be highly appreciated.

I know Packer pretty well, him and Kurobane do this one pretty well, but their work does not include the kind of connection I mentioned.
Unless you tell me the book listed in website above include this then I should not purchase it.
