A lower-bound limit pressure analysis for the oblique intersection of a flush cylindrical nozzle and the torus of a cylindrical vessel with a torispherical end
A lower-bound limit analysis is presented for the calculation of the limit pressure for the oblique intersection of a flush cylindrical nozzle and the torus of a cylindrical vessel with a torispherical end. A rotationally asymmetric formulation of stress resultants is specified in assumed plastic regions in terms of an independent set of variables and the limit pressure is computed for a limited number of geometric parameters by a non-linear programming method.
