Title: FLEXURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF RADIALLY LOADED CYLINDRICAL SHELLS WITH STIFFENING RINGS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4838841

Cylindrical shells with stiffening rings were tested in order to verify the validity of existing methods of analysis for shells of this type. The results indicate that skin strains caused by ring bending, neglected in the analytic methods, are noticeable five inches away from the ring centerline. Calculations of ring stresses with a three-inch effective skin width yield the best agreement between the experimental and theoretical results. (D. L.C.)
