In 2004 croy2 posted this question: "I am unable to find a (non-FEA) method for determining the shell and ring stresses of a single ring subjected to a longitudinal force and moment (usually at four points, 90 deg. apart), that is welded to a shell (usually 12-48" OD). I can find formulae for double rings and rings that have radial forces, but not for this."
Nowadays in 2017 I have exactly the same question, so I am wondering if croy2 solved this particular case or anybody could suggest me any tips or guidance.
