Thanks for your help Prex. Does this mean then that one cannot realistically design a conical section under compressive loads to ASME without using FEA?

I have a calculation on a conical section under combined loading, including earthquake. The calc is to PD5500 Appendix B, and PD5500 Annex A (which is a compressive/Buckling check), and PD5500 Section3, covering reinforcement at the small and large ends. The Internal Pressure is less than 1bar...

I have a rectangular vessel, which is stiffened such that the largest area of unstiffened flat side is not overstressed in bending, and the deflections calculated using Roark are deemed to be acceptable. The stiffeners have been designed and are satisfactory. (I think the stress limits are from...

gedesigner Let me know what you decide to do as your story is similar to my own! I am in a way fortunate that I can use my left hand for mouse operations now that I have pain in my right arm and shoulder, although this could prove costly if both arms become painful. I am wary of venturing into...

When cold forming an 8mm plate, i.e. bending it to effectively form an 90degree angle, the strain on the outer fibres approaches 20%. PV codes appear to restrict this strain to 3% or 5% but I have a feeling that this is for pressure parts such as dished ends and the like. The cold formed...
