Nozzle internal projections, reinforcing pads and fillet welds are considered for nozzles on cylinders. The technique uses beam on elastic foundation theory and extends the work of W. L. McBride and W. S. Jacobs . A study comparing the proposed method with ASME Section VIII, Division 1 [2] rules and finite element analysis (FEA) is presented for the range of geometries listed in WRC-Bulletin 335. The proposed method predicts a maximum local primary stress that is in good agreement with FEA and burst test data.
