✦ Synopsis

The problem of unsymmetnc bending of cylindrical conical shell junction has been analysed. In the method presented here the classical assumption of Geckeler's approach has not been made. In the first instance a numerical method has been adopted to solve the shell equations and detailed numerical results have been given for those diameter to thickness ratios and angles of discontinuity which are of practical interest. An exact solution has also been worked out in order to indicate how such problems can be tackled by non-numerical methods and the remits of this solution have been compared with the results obtained by the numerical method. The effect of the presence of of fillet at the cylinder cone junction has also been investigated.

* However for one case, as a check for the numerical method this has been applied to the entire length of the shell and the results are ,found to be exactly the same as the ones obtained by restricting it to one half of the length of the shell.

* This assumpUon is jusUfied if the cyhnder Is sufficiently long.
