In this section, we re-derived the API 650 rules to make clear the assumptions on which they are based.

28、the compression ring that is used as the basis for API 650 rules. Figure 2.5 shows the equilibrium forces (per unit circumference) on the compression ring. The weight of the plates, the pressure acting on this region, and the are aseumed and ne- Fig. 2.6-Top view of eqolibriurn forces on compression

The roof force can be separated into vertical and radial components. The force in the compression ring F, is equal to the Equilibrium in the vertical direction

Equilibrium of the compression force in the ring and the horizontal force, as shown in Figure 2.6, gives:

32、v Joint I Fahell Assuming yielding occurs when the bottom is about to uplift, then equation (2.3.5) can be written as: where W is the total weight of the shell. Equation (2.3.6) is the basis of the area inequality rule. From this equation follow the remaining equa- tions given in API 650 for frangib

33、le roofs. To avoid uplift of the bottom, considering a factor of safety n = 1.6 and neglecting wind moment, the maximum design pressure and the weight of shell are related by (Note: in API 650, the unit of P is inches of water, and the density of the roof plates is about 8 times of that of water): S

34、ubstituting W in equations (2.3.6) into (2.3.7) we have: 8Aufield tan 8 P = nD2 + 8pwaterth. (2.3.8) Assume a compressive yield stress of 32,000 psi (as described in Appendix F, Section F.6), substitute into equation (2.3.8), and convert units by 1 inch of wa- ter = 0.03606 psi, gives the equation f

(2.3.12) If the area A satisfies equation (2.3.6), then the uplift pressure P, is also the calculated failure pressure,

39、Pf. From equation (2.3.7), the relation between Pf and the design pressure P is: w = lateral displacement, R = radius of the shell, h = thickness of the shell, P = internal pressure, D = flexural rigidity. The general solution can be written as (Timoshenko, and Woinowsky-Krieger, 1959): w = e-PX(c3

40、cos px + c4 sin px). (2.4.2) Using the boundary condition of zero moment at the end of the shell: or, in terms of inches of water: d2w - = pe-PX(c3 cos px + c4 sin px) Pf = 1.6P - 4.8th. (2.3.14) dX2 This is identical to equation API 650 F.6. - 2p2d-Px(-c3 sin px + c4 cos px) The above derivations a

41、re based on using static + P2e-PX(-c3 cos px - c4 sin px) equilibrium and the original geometry to calculate the inward force on the compression ring due to roof lifting. The resulting equations demonstrate that the (e) = 0 = - 2p2e-Pc4 basis of the inequality rule is to ensure that yielding dX2 x=o

42、 of the compression ring will occur before uplift of the c4 = 0. (2.4.3) bottom. Yielding and subsequent loss of stiffness are expected to cause buckling of the compression ring, followed by gross deformation of the roof, shell, and associated failure of the roof-to-shell weld. As dis- cussed in Sec

43、tion 5.2 and 5.3, our testing confirms that this is the mode in which failure occurs. 2.4 Derivation of W, and Wh in API 650 Design Rules Section 2.3 demonstrated that the objective of the inequality rule is to ensure that yielding of the compression ring will occur before uplift of the bot- tom. Th

44、e area of the compression ring is determined using Wc, the maximum width of participating shell, and Wh, the maximum width of the participating roof. To verify the validity of the rules, it is necessary to know the basis for the derivations of W, and Wh. As shown below, Wc and Wh can be derived from

Thus, the value 0.6 in API 650 arises from considering the shear for

Define: Ehw No=- R EhQo =- 2Rp3D e-Px cos fix where E is the Youngs modulus. The circumferential stress can

48、 be written as: The maximum value of compression stress is located at the edge of the shell where x = 0, and is given by: where th is the thickness of the cone and v is Poissons ratio. Then: u0 = uO,e-PX cos px (2.4.11) A plot of normalized force as a function of px is plotted in Figure 2.8. If one
