Abstract
Results are presented for the limit analysis of pressure vessel heads of torispherical and ellipsoidal shapes in order to evaluate the influence of different head thicknesses for a given cylinder thickness. Comparison is made with presently used configurations as recommended by the ASME Code. It is found in particular that increasing the knuckle thickness of a torispherical head would provide a significant increase in yield pressure without excessive additional material.
