Abstract

This paper presents the values of the rotational spring constants at the juncture of a radial nozzle and a spherical shell. This rotational spring constant is a function of diameters and thicknesses of nozzle and vessel. It is known that a lower Rotational Spring Constant at the juncture would reduce the local peak stresses. The actual values of Rotational Spring Constants for various nozzle-shell combination have been computed using a digital computer. These values are tabulated and plotted in this paper to facilitate the vessel design and stress analysis.
