Effect of chord can length on strength of T joints

OSTI ID:128958
A study has been conducted to examine the influence of can length on the static strength of compression loaded T-joints. Finite Element models of the T-joints are developed and analyzed using the SESAM/Pretube, PATRAN{reg_sign}, and ABAQUS{trademark} computer programs. The ultimate loads from the analyses are compared with recommended values in API (1993) and other codes. In general, it appears that the API recommended ultimate strength values for T joints with low {beta} should be modified. Also, the API derating equation for X joints with short cans is conservative for T joints. However, a derating equation is required for T joints.
