Abstract

This paper presents the localized principal stresses (meridional and circumferential) and radial spring constant of a spherical shell with a nozzle attachment when it is under a distributed radial loading. Because of the mathematical difficulty in modelling the nozzle-sphere configuration, particularly with an opening at the juncture, the finite elements method (ANSYS package) is utilized in this study. Since our attention is directed to the thin shell problem, the 2-D shell model is used to simulate the geometry.
