STRESS ANALYSIS OF CONICAL SHELLS

The fundamentals for the stress analysis of conical shells by use of the classical small-deflection theory have been presented in various texts, but before the development of the high-speed computing machines it was not feasible to present the anaylsis in a convenient and usable form. With the aid of these high-speed machines, all necessary functions can be evaluated by the fundamental analyst and tabulated in a convenient form for use by tbs design engineer. It in the intent of this report to bridge the gap between theory and design. Parts I and II are sufficient for the analysis of a specific conical shell. Part III consists of several illustrative examples and the necessary additional equations for ''connecting'' a cylinder or a flat circular plaa to either end of a cone. These equations pertain to the ''funnel'' and the ''flower pot'' problems, respectively. Part IV gives the derivation of the conical-shell formulas, and part V consists of tables of values of the Schleicher functions and their first derivaiisves, which form the core for the values of almost all the other required functions but do not apply directly in the stress analysis of conical shells.
