Writing of this book was motivated by the lack of readily available design data for use in the design of pressure vessels, boilers, reactors, autoclaves, with varied cross-bore entry geometries and thickness ratios. The cross-bores include tee-offs or openings on the sides or end covers. The results presented form a quick design aid when engineers need to consider: elastic stresses; stress concentration factors; autofrettage; residual stresses; service stresses. This data will be very handy and save time that would be required to develop and run a computer program for analyzing the problem....
