Extract

Expressions are found and curves given for the bending moment, direct force and shear force around a circular frame, in a cylinder partially filled with fluid. The maximum bending moment is found to occur when the cylinder is half full, and its position to be at the level of the fluid surface.

The analysis is an elementary one, that is, engineer's bending theory is assumed to hold in the cylinder. Hence the resultant pressure of fluid on the frame is balanced by a sinusoidal varying shear flow around the frame.
