Friends,
I hope you can help me out with this one...
I have a strainer plate inside a pressure vessel which is supported in 8 -
10 different places
from bottom by pipes / rods on the inside of an ellitical dish.
I need to check the local load due to forces on the strainer plate on the
dish.
Could you suggest what analysis I could follow ?
I think WRC 107 could be be followed but I am not so sure about the graphs
which I could use.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards - Nitin Mahajan
