... ). These values were obtained higher than the 9/4 times the TP value of the torus tank and also confirmed the code regulations. The actual toroidal shell and weld zone MPs including wall thickness variations were well specified in this study and successfully adapted into the ANSYS computer code. Additionally...

...Vu Truong Vu; J. Blachut This paper considers the determination of plastic instability pressure in toroidal shells under internal uniform pressure. Analytical and numerical approaches, as well as verification by experiments, are presented. This work is inspired by Mellor’s treatment ( 1983...
