This conference, held in Tokyo in April 1977 and organized by the Japanese Organizing Committee, with the support of A.S.M.E., I. Mech E. and a European Participation Committee, attracted 400 delegates from all over the world. More than 100 papers were presented in parallel sessions on a wide variety of pressure-wessel topics; there were also ‘panel sessions’ for the discussion of specific topics. The classification of the numerous and diverse topics covered in the papers was not easy and there were inevitably omissions and misfits in the contents of the sessions. This review covers the papers presented in the sessions on Analysis and Design, Seismic Analysis and Dynamics, and Creep; some of the original groupings have been retained, but an attempt has been made to bring the papers more effectively together into well-defined sets.
