A structural problem that has received continued intrn-ist and drvclopiwut w r itic
late several decades Is the determination of stresses In two normally intersecti«p cylin-
drical shells) subjected to Internal pressure and external lending. This type of structure
in tnanifent In mnnwnys, handholes, view ports, nozcle-plping attachments, etc. Over the
yenrs moot analytical developments have been orl«nt<ii.*d toward the solution of the Internal
pressure loading condition. This Is probably attributed to the fact th.it It vas Cell that
structural difficulty from external loading could be easily deiilgned out by adjustments in
pipe support or flexibility; many attachments did not receive external loads, and an ana-
lytical treatment of this problem Is considerably more difficult than the Internal pressure
problem.
In nuclear pressure vessels the external loading of the vessel through the attachment

Historically, the solution of the internal pressure problem had itc beginnings in a
