Abstract
This paper studies the stress concentrations at the root of the threads of a cylinder. A photoelastic analysis using the stress freezing procedure is used to calculate the stress along the cylinder and the stress concentrations at the root of the threads. These values are compared to that of similar cylinders with different threaded configurations. A finite element model is built by using the photoelastic data to find a suitable load distribution along the threaded region. The finite element model predicted results similar to the photoelastic analysis and showed a method of reducing the stress concentrations on the threads by redesigning a pressure ring on the cylinder.
