THE SET CODES--IBM 704 CODES FOR THE CALCULATION OF THE STRESSES IN A PRESSURE VESSEL WITH AN ELLIPSOIDAL HEAD

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4222914· OSTI ID:4222914
A solution to the problem of stresses in a pressure vessel with an ellipsoidal head has long been sought by pressure vessel designers. To meet this need the codes described in this report were written The codes are based on a finite-difference approximation to the LoveMeissner equations which are the basis of the bending theory of thin shells.
