Sample problem showing factors of safety for a bolted pressure vessel

Also, how can I get that spread sheet program you used or do I have to use excel macros and program it myself?

Hello Mr, do you happen to do a stress analysis of a weld in a cylindrical vessel similar to the one you have on the problem. A stress analysis on a welded plate

I have a video that explains how to create the spreadsheet, I do not provide them. Also, I do not have a lecture on cylindrical vessel welds...but the same ideas would be used. The interesting part is the transition form hoop and axial stress as you move to the end cap...this causes interesting stress concentrations!
