WRC 107 has been replaced by WRC 537
LOCAL STRESSES IN SPHERICAL AND CYLINDRICAL SHELLS DUE TO EXTERNAL LOADINGS
K. R. Wichman, A. G. Hopper, and J. L. Mershon
WRC Bulletin 107
WRC 107 has been replaced by WRC 537
WRC Bulletin 107 presents the results of an analytical and experimental research program aimed at providing methods for determining the stresses in pressure vessel nozzle connections subjected to various forms of external loadings. Based on the work of P.P. Bijlaard, the Bulletin covers the sign conventions, parameters, calculation of stresses, nondimensional curves, and limitations on application for spherical and cylindrical shells and an abridged calculation for maximum stress in spherical shells.
First published in 1965, WRC Bulletin 107 was revised in 1968, 1970, 1972, 1979 and 2002.

PRECISION EQUATIONS AND ENHANCED DIAGRAMS FOR LOCAL STRESSES IN SPHERICAL AND CYLINDRICAL SHELLS DUE TO EXTERNAL LOADINGS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF WRC BULLETIN 107
D. A. Osage, M. Straub, M. E. Buchheim, D. E. Amos, T. N. Chiasson, D. A. Samodell
WRC Bulletin 537
Precision Equations and Enhanced Diagrams For Local Stresses In Spherical and Cylindrical Shells Due To External Loadings For Implementation of WRC Bulletin 107
Bulletin 537 is intended to facilitate implementation of the widely required and used relations found in the March 1979 Revision of WRC 107 for local stresses in spherical and cylindrical shells due to external loadings. The original analytical and experimental work of WRC’s Pressure Vessel Research Council delivered has become the an essential tool for pressure vessel design for 45 years and in its present form for over 30 years. In response to numerous requests over the years for the precise equations depicted in the figures in the 1979 version of WRC 107, WRC 537 has been prepared. The objective was to eliminate potential errors in implementation, facilitate proper interpolation and extrapolation and permit efficient computation with modern computers.
WRC will no longer deliver WRC 107 when requested for purchase. WRC 537 provides exactly the same content in a more useful and clear format. It is not an update or a revision of 107. It is the 2010 printing of WRC 107. It has been meticulously checked. Those responsible for codes, standards and specifications that require use of WRC 107 should amend those documents to reflect the fact that WRC 537 is equivalent WRC 107 and provides the same acceptable basis for design.
