cylindrical shell structure

Experimental determination strained condition of elongated cylindrical shell caused by the interaction of the support roller

The strained condition of a cylindrical shell structure in interaction with the support roller is analyzed in order to justify the lifting device parameters for the maintenance of bearings of overground passages of trunk pipelines. Experimental values of circular strains that occur in the places of rollers’ contact with the elongated cylindrical shell are given and compared with the calculated values.
