On the calculation of a cylindrical shell under a linear load distributed along a part of the shell

Abstract

The problem of the calculation of a shell loaded along the formant was first solved in the study of the stresses arising in cylindrical shells used for slabs. As a result of neglecting the values of Mx and Mxy, a simple differential equation for Mx is obtained. Further development of this issue is related to works based on the assumption that Mx and Mxy are insignificant in the overall balance of forces and moments in a long shell under distributed load. Along with this, there were data indicating that this is not the case when linear or concentrated loads are applied to the shell. For example, when the load was transferred to the shell through a relatively large diameter pipe, the ratio of the maximum longitudinal bending stresses to the maximum circumferential bending stresses was half.
