Abstract
A lower bound for the limit moment of a smooth circular pipe bend of uniform thickness is calculated with no restrictions on the geometry except those of thin shell theory, though the bend angle and the effect of any straight length attachments are not considered. Results of the analyses suggest that the ( bend radius) ( pipe radius) ratio is of importance as well as the pipe factor ( bend radius x thickness) ( pipe radius) 2 , which is usually assumed to be the only important geometric parameter.
