SYNOPSIS Failures in a limpet coil vessel arising due to thermally induced stresses are discussed. A method of presenting design information on stresses due to pressure in part circular limpet coils is given for a range of parameters. Analytical and experimental work on a rectangular limpet coil vessel is also described.
