Stress Analysis of Compensating Plates on Thin Wall Stainless

Stress Analysis of Compensating Plates on Thin Wall Stainless

Stress Analysis of Compensating Plates on Thin Wall Stainless

(OP)
I am seeking some technical papers/books/software that covers the localised stresses on thin wall pipe material at the supports.

The material may be 316ss but aluminium and others are also considered. The normal reaction would be to use FEA but I was looking for something more specific to this one problem.

Roark & Young give some insight at Ch12 Section 12.7.

What else is out there?

RE: Stress Analysis of Compensating Plates on Thin Wall Stainless

BS5500 appendix G, is a good paper in detailing the local loading (stresses), in thin walled vessels. I would think the empirical formulaes could be applied to any size of pipe, its the d/t ratio which is important.
A chap named Zick also did alot of work in this area.
They both indicate that there is general loss of bending capacity of the pipe, local to the support, of a factor of 10. This then leads in to all sorts of local loading problems.
BS5500, also has a worked example calculation, covering different way to solve the problem.

Thanks for the references.

I am a little surprised that there hasnt been a great response to this question. In my rersearch I have come across BS 5500 Pressure Vessel Design Appendix G that gives some insight into the design techniques required. BS 4994 for Fibreglasss Ve=essels was of even more help.
