Abstract
Finite element and photoelastic methods of stress analysis have been used to study the effects of pressure loading on the behaviour of swivel ring flanges. The use of recesses on the back faces of flanges, to control the load position, were investigated. The effect of the friction conditions between the flange and ring were also considered. It was found that the inclusion of a recess can significantly reduce the highest stresses, which occur in the flange/hub fillet radius. The friction conditions between the flange and ring were also found to have a significant effect on the stresses.
