Calculation of allowable loads at a shell nozzle?
Yes, that's right. Normally, the loadings that cause problems for the vessel nozzle is bending (longitudinal and circumfrential, but sometimes combined bending... just a sqr rt sum of squares of long and circ.) and then radial load. Radial load is the load tending to punch the nozzle into the...- Merkurmaniac
