"Slice" Method for Heads - Trapezoid Shaped Slices

Head OD (in) = 60
Increase in effective OD (in) = 12
Straight flange length (in) = 2
Wind Pressure (psf) = 10
Thickness (in) = 1

A (in) = 30
B (in) = 15.5
Height of Slice (100 Slices) (in) = 0.155

y (in) : The height location of the base of the trapezoid slice

x (in) : The distance from the center line to the ellipse at the given height y, calculated using
the formula for an ellipse. (x^2/a^2)+(y^2/b^2)=1
Diameter of Slice : Distance x mulitplied by 2 plus any increase in effective OD.
Shear Force (lb) : Area of trapezoid slice * Adjusted WP
Distance to centroid : Distance from the bottom of the ellipsoid portion of the head to the centroid of the
given trapezoid slice.
Moment : The Shear Force * Distance from the bottom to centroid.

Cylinder #1 75 6.25 3.125 6 10 0 73.62

Component Height : Height of the component above the lug elevation

Cylinder Shear = Height * Effective OD * Adjusted WP

= 6.25 * 6 * 10
= 375 lb
Shear at Bottom = Cylinder Shear + Platform Shear + Shear Above
= 375 + 0 + 73.62
= 448.62 lb

Bending Moment at Bottom Calculations:

Ellipse Moment = [(Y-Bar Ellipse + Straight Flange Length + Component Height) * Ellipse Shear Force]
= [(0.5482 + 0.167 + 6.25) * 63.62]
= 443.114 lb-ft

Straight Flange Moment = [(Y-Bar Straight Flange + Component Height) * Straight Flange Shear Force]
= [(0.0833 + 6.25) * 10]
= 63.333 lb-ft

Cyl. #1 (Top) Moment = Y-Bar Cylinder * Cylinder Shear

= 3.125 * 375
= 1171.875 lb-ft

Total Moment = Ellipse Moment + Straight Flange + Cyl. #1 (Top) Moment

= 443.114 + 63.333 + 1171.875
= 1678.322 lb-ft

Ellipsoidal Head Bottom (Same as Top)

Y-Bar of Ellipse = 0.54820036 ft

Y-Bar Straight Flange = 0.08333333 ft
Ellipse Shear Force = 63.6213167 lb
Straight Flange Shear Force = 10 lb
Total Shear = 73.6213167

Ellipsoidal Head Bottom Bending Moment at Bottom

Total Moment = [(Y-Bar Ellipse + Straight Flange Length) * Ellipse Shear Force] +
[Y-Bar Straight Flange * Straight Flange Shear Force]
= [(0.5482 + 0.167) * 63.62] + [0.083 * 10]

Component Height (in) Height (ft) Bar)(ft) (ft) (psf) (lb) Below (lb)
Cylinder #1 125 10.417 5.2085 6 10 0 73.62

Component Height : Height of the component below the lug elevation

Cylinder Shear = Height * Effective OD * Adjusted WP

= 10.417 * 6 * 10
= 625.02 lb
Shear at Bottom = Cylinder Shear + Platform Shear + Shear Below
= 625.02 + 0 + 73.62
= 698.64 lb
Bending Moment at Bottom Calculations:

Ellipse Moment = [(Y-Bar Ellipse + Straight Flange Length + Component Height) * Ellipse Shear Force]
= [(0.5482 + 0.167 + 10.417) * 63.62]
= 708.224 lb-ft

Straight Flange Moment = [(Y-Bar Straight Flange + Component Height) * Straight Flange Shear Force]
= [(0.0833 + 10.417) * 10]
= 105.003 lb-ft

Cyl. #1 (Bottom) Moment = Y-Bar Cylinder * Cylinder Shear

= 5.2085 * 625.02
= 3255.417 lb-ft

Bending Moments Due to Attached Components:

NOTE: For bending moments due to attached nozzles, the nozzle weight is assumed to act at the end of the nozzle.

Nozzle #1 (N1)
Weight = 356.1 lb
Distance (r) = 48 in

Nozzle #1 (N1) Moment = Nozzle Weight (lb) * Distance (r)(ft)

= 356.1 * ( 48/12)
= 1424.4 lb-ft

Total Moment = Ellipse Moment + Straight Flange + Cyl. #1 (Bottom) Moment + Nozzle #1 (N1) Moment
= 708.224 + 105.003 + 3255.417 + 1424.4
= 5493.044 lb-ft
