Figs. 4 and 5 provide maximum longitudinal stress intensification factors for determining working stresses at tube bends for
which the ratio of in-plane to out-of-plane bending moments is
known. They were compiled from data generated from the
trigonometric series solutions of Rodabaugh and George [6]
carried out to the fifth approximation. The maximum longitudinal stress for a particular tube characteristic, A, is found by applying the appropriate stress intensification F to the stress found
from simple beam theory as follows:
