5.9.2. Calculation of cylindrical shell

In the stress calculations in cylindrical shell the relative nondimensional forces and moments are used, which depend on geometric parameters of the shell $\gamma = \displaystyle\frac{R_m}{(s-c)}$ and nozzle $\beta = \displaystyle\frac{0.875 r_0}{R_m}$ [8], where $R_m = \displaystyle\frac{(D+s+c)}{2}$ - mean radius of the shell; $r_0 = \displaystyle\frac{d+2s_1}{2}$ - nozzle outer radius.

Due to the torsional moment shearing stresses are created in the junction between nozzle and shell:

$$ \tau_{\theta x} = \frac{F_L}{\pi r_0 (s-c)}. $$ (5.47)

5.9.2.6. Stress calculation from internal pressure

The method offered is based on two allowances [19]:

1.Average stresses in design zone of hole reinforcement $\sigma_{\theta(x)cp}$ are calculated on the basis of ratio of the pressure force towards cross section area within the design zone.
2)Membrane stresses have a linear distribution along the zone of hole reinforcement (fig. 5.33), where
$\sigma_{\theta(x)0}$-stresses in the shell beyond the design zone;
$\sigma_{\theta(x)ср}$-mean stresses in the middle of the design zone of hole reinforcement;
$\sigma_{\theta(x)р}$-local membrane stresses in design points of junction between nozzle and shell.
Fig. 5.33. Stress distribution in the nozzle design zone

 

Membrane stresses in design points:

$$ \sigma_{\theta(x)p} = 2\sigma_{\theta(x)cp} - \sigma_{\theta(x)0}. $$ (5.48)

Local circumferential membrane stress from internal pressure in the nozzle junction can be shown as follows:

$$ \sigma_{\theta p} = p I_{\theta p} \frac{D+(s+s_2-c)}{2(s+s_2-c)}, $$ (5.49)

where $I_{\theta p}$ - stress intensification factor from pressure in longitudinal section of shell (points 1-4, fig. 5.32). For cross section (points 5-8, fig. 5.32) $I_{\theta p} = 1$.

Design model for definition of intensification factor in longitudinal section is shown in fig. 5.34:

Fig. 5.34. Design model of the nozzle in the shell longitudinal section

 

Stress intensification factor against internal pressure in longitudinal section:

$$ I_{\theta p} = \frac{2 (s+s_2-c)\left[ (d+2c_s)(l_{1R}-c) + (D+2c)(l_{R}+s_1+0.5d) \right]} {\left( D+(s+s_2-c) \right) \left[ l_R(s-c)+l_{1R}(s_1-c_s)+l_{2R}s_2+l_{3R}(s_3-2c_s)+(\Delta^2+\Delta^2_1+\Delta^2_2) \right]} - 1, $$ (5.50)

where design length of shell:

$$ l_{R} = \left\{ \begin{array}{lll} \min{\left\{ 8(s-c); \sqrt{2D(s-c)} \right\}}, & s_2 < 0.5(s-c), & \\ \min{\left\{ 10(s-c); \sqrt{2D(s-c)} \right\}}, & s_2 > 0.5(s-c), & l_2 \ge 2(s-c), \\ \min{\left\{ 8(s+s_2-c); \sqrt{2D(s-c)} \right\}}, & s_2 > 0.5(s-c), & l_2 \ge 2(s+s_2-c); \\ \end{array} \right. $$ (5.51)

design length of nozzle outer part:

$$ l_{1R} = \min{\left\{ 8(s-c); s+s_2-c+0.55\sqrt{d(s_1-c_s)}+0.5\Delta_2 \right\}}; $$ (5.52)

design length of pad:

$$ l_{2R} = \min{\left\{ l_2; l_R \right\}}; $$ (5.53)

design length of nozzle internal part:

$$ l_{3R} = \min{\left\{ l_3; 8(s+s_2-c); 0.55\sqrt{d(s_3-c_s)}+0.5\Delta \right\}}. $$ (5.54)

Local longitudinal membrane stress from internal pressure:

$$ \sigma_{xp} = p I_{xp} \frac{D+(s+s_2-c)}{4(s+s_2-c)}. $$ (5.55)

Design model for definition of intensification factor in cross section is shown in fig. 5.35:

Fig. 5.35. Design model of the nozzle in the shell cross section

 

Stress intensification factor from internal pressure in cross-section is:

$$ I_{xp} = \frac{2 (s+s_2-c)\left[ 2(d+2c_s)(l_{1R}-c) + (D+2c)(l_{R}+s_1+0.5d) \right]} {\left( D+(s+s_2-c) \right) \left[ l_R(s-c)+l_{1R}(s_1-c_s)+l_{2R}s_2+l_{3R}(s_3-2c_s)+(\Delta^2+\Delta^2_1+\Delta^2_2) \right]} - 1, $$ (5.56)

For longitudinal section (points 1-4) $I_{xp} = 1$.

As the design coefficients $I_{\theta(x)p} < 1$, then the following equations are used for calculation of circumferential and longitudinal stresses in all design points of branch connection:

$$ \sigma_{\theta p} = p \frac{1+I_{\theta p}}{2} \frac{D+(s+s_2-c)}{2(s+s_2-c)}, $$ (5.57)
$$ \sigma_{xp} = p \frac{1+I_{xp}}{2} \frac{D+(s+s_2-c)}{4(s+s_2-c)}. $$ (5.58)

When $l_2 < 8(s+s_2-c)$ at calculation of stresses and stress intensification factor it is necessary to substitute $s$ for $s+s_2$ (pad thickness is neglected).

Stresses on the pad edge are calculate as per (5.49), (5.55) under the assumption $I_p = 1$, $s_2 = 0$.

5.9.2.7. Stress calculation under arbitrary complex loading

In general, all the external loads applied to the nozzle can be distributed by three directions, i.e. can be shown as simultaneously acting forces $F_R$, $F_C$, $F_L$ and moments $M_C$, $M_L$, $M_t$. After calculation of stresses from effective forces and pressure, total stresses in design points (1-8) are calculated with taking into consideration of signs (table 5.15.

In the presence of corrosive hydrogen sulphide environment, a supplementary calculation of tensile stresses on the shell inside surfaces of the nozzle is made (2, 4, 6, 8 points):

$$ \sigma_{in} = \max{\left\{ \frac{1}{2} \left( \sigma_{\theta}+\sigma_x+\sqrt{(\sigma_{\theta}-\sigma_x)^2+4\tau^2_{\theta x}} \right); 0 \right\}}. $$ (5.59)
