Sometimes negligible and sometimes not, axial assembly stresses in compound pressure vessels continue to be largely ignored. The paper offers an approximate analysis of the manners in which these stresses may arise, and describes their final distributions, for the two cases of force-fit and shrink-fit assembly. Possible implications for the pressure vessel when in service are discussed.
