Experimental Investigation of the Edge Stress of Sphere-Cylinder Combined Shell

Article Preview

Abstract:

Sphere-cylinder combined shell is one of the main pressure hull forms of submersible. This paper analyzes on edge stress of sphere-cylinder combined shell under external hydrostatic pressure. The edge models of cylindrical and spherical parts of combined shells are established by moment analysis and deformation compatibility. In the experiment, a ring-stiffened cylinder with hemispherical end is designed to verify edge models. The results of stress analysis are discussed in the paper.
