Hi all,
I am doing FE analysis of pressure elements with saddle supports.
One of the saddle support is fixed and other is free.
The shell and saddle supports are connected using weld elements.
My question is,
High stresses are generated at the weld locations of movable saddle., why?
Whether these stresses can be neglected?
And also high stresses are generated at the nozzle and shell weld junction, why?
As far as i understood the shell is bulging, hence the stresses are generating at these location.
Please clarify.
