Flat Head Calculations
Flat Head Calculations
(OP)
Can anyone provide a useful resource for me?
I'm trying to evaluate the discontinuity stresses between a flat head and a shell.
The shell is thin enough to aplly membrane theory.
The flat head is too thick to apply thin plate (Kirchoff's) theory and so I need to consider the effect of shear strains within the plate.
Is there a book or web site that will show me how to derive the necessary equations (from theories like Mindel's) from first principles?
I don't have and will not be able to obtian, the necessary resources to evaluate this using finite element analysis.
Any help would be gratefully recieved.

RE: Flat Head Calculations
Another place is in Appendix 4-7 "Discontinuity Stresses" in Sec.VIII, Div2 of the ASME B&PV Code.
