STRENGTH OF A HORIZONTAL RESERVOIR SUPPORTED PARTIALLY BY EQUIDISTANT SADDLES

This theory could be considered in the designs of railway tank cars, especially those of the "jumbo" size. In a horizontal reservoir, partially supported by saddles, great stresses arise near the supports, and the magnitude of these stresses is closely related with the form of the saddle supports. The strength is discussed of such a reservoir and its relationship to the form of the saddle supports, utilizing the fundamental differential equation of cylindrical shells, and the importance of the form of the saddle supports is pointed out. To decrease the magnitude of the stresses arising near the supports, research on the optimum form of the saddle supports was made. The deformation of such a reservoir was very large.
