Abstract

The finite element method has been used to investigate the stress fields in blind end closures of thick-walled pressure vessels. A design curve for choosing end thickness has been developed by elastic analysis of a range of geometries and by elastic-plastic analysis of several geometries. The effects of inner corner radius of the blind end and a small central hole in the end are discussed.
