NOTES:
[1] Consideration must also be given to the possibility of wrinkling and
excessive deformation in vessels with large diameter-to-thickness ratio.
[2] Consider possibility of thermal stress ratchet.
[3] Equivalent linear stress is defined as the linear stress distribution
which has the same net bending moment as the actual stress distribution.
