Summary

Thorough analysis of two-side integral tubesheet of U-tube heat exchanger is carried out, using Panc's component theory of plates. Effects of solid annular rim and interaction between tubesheet and shell/channel are considered. A design procedure based on foregoing analysis is proposed. Fictive elastic constants due to Osweiller, as well as effective elastic constants due to Slot and O'Donnell, are employed. Deformations, internal forces and primary stress intensities are evaluated in both pitch and diagonal directions.
