[PSUBS-MAILIST] exotic steel

Scott,

I use the excel spreadsheet calculator that Cliff Redus created a few 
years ago.  You can download it from the web site.
PSUBS.ORG -> Resources & Reference -> Design Tools -> Calculators & Data 
Sheets -> Stiffened Cylinder Calculator

Make sure you "Enable" macros.  There are multiple tabs at the bottom of 
the sheet, one of them is for spheres and elliptical heads.  It takes a 
little time to learn how to use it, but once you've "got it" in your 
head the spreadsheet is really easy to use.  I've gone through it line 
by line and Cliff did a fantastic job converting the ABS specs into a 
useable tool.

Jon
