A SIMPLIFIED CALCULATING METHOD FOR SHELL DEFORMATION CAUSED BY GRAVITY AND ITS ENGINEERING APPLICATION
A mechanical model for elastic deformation on horizontal cylinder caused by gravity stress was presented and a simplified calculating formula was deduced,compared with measured data of deformed cylinders,which was proved practical.A quantitative evaluation method for calculating deformation of thin-wall horizontal cylinder caused by gravity stress and effectiveness of their reinforcing supports during manufacturing and heat treatment was given.
