Horizontal Vessel Analysis (Ope.) : Step: 9 4:00p Sep 7,2011
Step - 1
Fwt = Sum of wind load of all elements from wind load cal.
Divided by 2 because it is taken by 2 saddles
Step - 2
Step – 3
Fst is same as Fsl in case of earth quake because it does not depend up on direction as in case of
Wind loading
i.e. Fl = Ft = 41806
If we have specified any force in X or Z direction like bundle pulling force than it will come in
sum of X force or Z force load
Step - 4
Fst is same as Fsl in case of earth quake because it does not depends up on direction as in case
of Wind loading
Step - 5
Saddle load 81826 is calculated by finding reaction at saddle as per SFBM calculation.
Step - 6
Step -7
Step -7 : Calculating Stress sigma 1 & sigma 2 at mid span due to moment M2
Longitudinal stress at midspan sigma 1 is in top which is compressive in nature & sigma 2 is in
bottom which is tensile
Step - 8 : Calculating Stress sigma 3 & sigma 4 at saddle support due to moment M1
Longitudinal stress at midspan sigma 3 is in top which is tensile & sigma 4 is in bottom
compressive in nature
The values of these stresses depend on the rigidity of the shell at the saddle support.
The cylindrical shell may be considered as suitably stiffened if it incorporates stiffening rings
at, or on both sides of the saddle support, or if the support is sufficiently close defined as
a ≤ 0.5R , to a torispherical or elliptical head (a hemispherical head is not considered a
stiffening element), a flat cover, or tubesheet.
Formulas for sigma 3 & sigma 4 are different for stiffened shell & unstiffned shell(Sigma3* &
sigma 4*)Pv-elite will change formula as per criteria given in Div.2
So far we have calculated longitudinal bending stress Now its turn for shear stress
There are four different cases in which shell shear stress is calculated
Depends up on this different case the point at which maximum shear stress will change & formula
for shear stress will also change.
If we have placed saddle like case – 4 such that a <= 0.5Rm than additional output for
Find out width of cylindrical shell contributes to the strength of saddle at the saddle location
Here also so many case based on different possibility are given in Div.2
b.Claculte circumferential compressive membrane plus bending stress at Points G and H as shown in fig.a above
case b -1 If internal stiffening ring is provided
calculate sigma 8 = stress in shell
sigma 9 = stress in ring
Case – 3 cylindrical shell with stiffening rings on both sides of the saddle support
a.find Sigma 6 = maximum compressive circ. stress at the base of saddle support
b.Claculte circumferential compressive membrane plus bending stress at Points I and J as shown in fig.C below
case b -1 If internal stiffening ring is provided
calculate sigma 10 = stress in shell
sigma 11 = stress in ring

Where Rm bending moment for inside ribs is calculated in same manner like outside ribs but not
shown in Details in output.
Eccentricity (e):
