How to read graphs?: British Engine Technical Report 1981 Volume XIV - Non-Circular Pressure Vessels
(OP)
Hi,
I am using this report as the basis for a tank I am dimensioning. I was wondering if someone could help me understand the graph on page 69 in the report (rectangular tank curved corners).
I have a height/length ratio of 1,0. My radii/length ratio is 0,22. How do I find the value kappa?
Link to the paper I'm refering to.

Using the values for r/L and following that procedure I get a kappa of approx 0.053. In comparison to the rectangular cross section the moment for the rounded edges will be lower than when it is perfectly square as expected. This is as I would expect.

i wonder if you should consider r/L and r/h ?
