Abstract
The finite element method and shell theory were employed to investigate cone–cylinder shell intersections. The developed special-purpose computer program Sais (stress analysis in intersecting shells) was used for elastic stress analysis of branch connections. A comparison of calculated results with experimental data is presented. A parametric study of non-radial models of the cone–cylinder shell intersection subjected to internal pressure loading was performed. The intersections of thin and middle thickness shells were analysed. The results are presented in graphical form. Non-dimensional geometric and angular parameters are considered to analyse the effects of changing these parameters on stress ratios in the shell intersection.
