The closure of thin wall pressure vessels

Author

Archie W. Culp Jr.

Abstract

"The object of this thesis is to find various methods of closing thin wall aluminum cylinders. Such a closure must be strong enough, that when internal pressure is applied, ultimate failure will occur along a longitudinal element of the cylinder and not at the closure. Moreover, such a method must not only be mechanically sound, but it must be readily adaptable to mass production"--Introduction.
