The characteristic beam on elastic foundation stress distribution, as shown in Fig. 2 for the applied moment case, is frequently encountered in a wide range of adhesive bond situations. In addition to lap joints mentioned earlier, peel tests, moisture-induced stresses, and curvature mismatch situations all tend to exhibit this characteristic distribution. Clearly, the beam on elastic foundation has important qualitative and, in many cases, quantitative applicability to a host of adhesively bonded joints. 

Skirt construction permits radial growth of pressure vessel due to pressure and temperature through the bending of skirt acting like a beam on an elastic foundation. The choice of proper height of the skirt support ensures that bending takes place safely. Finite-element methods can be effectively used to determine the stresses and deflections due to imposed pressure and temperature distribution.
