STD-BSI BS SSQO-ENGL 1947 MM Lb244b9 0560350 O37 a Issue 1, January 1997 Annex G Recommendations for methods of calculation of stresses from local loads, thermal gradients, ete. Ga General ‘This annex, which has been updated in accordance ‘with the recommendations in [22}§), deals with Methods of calculating stresses due to local ‘attachments on preasure vessels in some common ‘cases, The determination of stress intensities from calculated stresses and stress mits is covered in, ‘annexes A and B. Although itis impracticable in view of the many ‘variables involved to provide charts for use in the 0.25, the data should be used with caution (see 2.8 of [22)). ‘These restrictions apply only in relation to the method of analysis in this annex. They are not intended for practical cases where ‘or other evidence ‘may support the validity of the design falling outside these restrictions. In cases where the applicability of the method given in. this clause may be in doubt further data may be found in [30]. cn Copyright by te Bish Standards institution ‘Two Sop 07 13:18:23 1908 ost 107STD-BST BS SSOD-ENGL 2597 MMH 1b24Gb9 0580352 902 Mm Annex G Issue 1, J 1997 BS 025 20 0.15) 0.10 aoe Not appticabte (Gr. ee 6.22 and 6232; C,/2r,see 6.231) 0.05, Fa Loaded width 0 700) 200 300 yet t Figure G.1 Restriction on vesseVattachment geometry (see G.2.2 and G23) 6.2.2.1 Stresses at the edge of the loaded area ‘The maximum stresses are at the edge of the loaded area. Figure G2 shows a cylindrical veesel subjected to ‘a radial load distributed over a central rectangular area 2G, X 205. ‘The cylindrical shell wall of the vessel is assumed to ‘be simply supported at the ends, which means that the radial deflections, the bending moments and the membrane forces in the shell wall are assumed to be zero there. Since the stresses and deflection due to the load are local and die out rapidly away from the loaded area, this is equivalent to assuming that the loaded area is remote from the ends. G.2.2.1.1 Offcentre loading If the loaded area is a distance d from the centre of the length of a veael of length L, the deflections, bending moments and membrane forces may be ‘assumed to be equal to those in a vessel of length og Joaded at its mid length.
