Abstract The design of many engineering problems requires accurate test results and interpretation in order to evaluate the carrying capacity of circular cylindrical shells subjected to various loads including bending. Apparently anomalous values of axial tensile and compressive strains from recent test results have been lately investigated and explained using Finite Element modeling. As a complement to numerical analyses, in the present paper a simple analytical formula for the estimation of the effects of local conditions in tubes testing and design is provided on the basis of an extended Ritz's approach and of the general linear theory of shells. The findings… More >
