How should the local stress on a conical head caused by a supported support be calculated?
Thread Content
Hello everyone: I have a question – there is a project currently, and the client requires the installation of support brackets on the lower conical head (with a half-angle of 75 degrees). I’m worried that the local stress at the support cap might not meet the requirements; how should this be calculated? Or give some ideas, thanks! That’s how I thought about it: simplify the conical seal to a fixed-support disk, apply an appropriate vertical load at the center, and check whether the local stresses meet the requirements. This is quite conservative; I wonder if this approach is feasible. Please advise!

The algorithm used by the original poster is definitely quite conservative, and it doesn’t seem to be included in the standards either. Is the poster planning to use finite element analysis? Should we still calculate using the Itabashi theory solution? It might be difficult to use the latter; it seems there is no ready-made formula available.
