WRC 107 has been widely used by design analysts since its initial publication in August 1965. This continued use despite advances in analysis methods and capabilities and increased experimental data made available during the ensuing years underscores the need for a "cook book" of the WRC 107 type. The persistence of this need was a major motivating factor for preparation of this ?Supplement? provided here in WRC 297 that broadens the coverage of WRC 107. In this document methods and data are given for treating two normally intersecting cylindrical shells, that is, cylindrical nozzles radially attached to cylindrical vessels (shells). This Bulletin gives data for larger vessel diameter to vessel thickness ratios than in WRC Bulletin 107, provides better readability for small values of the nozzle diameter to vessel diameter ratio, and includes the effects of nozzle neck thickness. Section 3 gives the procedure for calculating stresses in the vessel or nozzle in the vicinity of the junction. This Bulletin presents tabular data from SHELLTECH Report 81-5 in a form suitable for use in design work. Also, data on flexibilities of nozzles from SHELLTECH Report 80-2 and SHELLTECH progress report 5 dated May 15, 1983, are included The analytical method used was derived and developed by C. R. Steele, principle of SHELLTECH, on the basis of thin shell theory.
