圆柱壳附件附近应力和挠度的实验研究提供了一个将测量值与理论计算进行比较的机会。实验报告包含了这样一个比较，并详细讨论了不同类型荷载对几个附件的影响。本解释性评论旨在强调一些主要结论，以及理论和实验之间出现一致或不一致的情况。对实验报告的检查表明，理论和实验非常一致，这使我们有信心将这一理论应用于这类问题。

The experimental investigation of stresses and deflections in the neighborhood of attachments to a cylindrical shell affords an opportunity to compare measured values with theoretical calculations. The experimental report contains such a comparison together with a detailed discussion of the effect of different types of loads on several attachments. This interpretive commentary is intended to emphasize some of the major conclusions and cases where agreement or disagreement occurs between theory and experiment. An examination of the experimental report indicates that theory and experiment agree quite well and this gives confidence to the use of this theory to problems of this type.
