    Name of formula used for calculating "Thickness of Ellipsoidal Head under Internal Pr

    I used the formula for some design pressure calcs. I need to reference the formula for the project owner.

    There is no name for these general equations. I assume you are using equations for thin walleed pressure vessels, which are derived from the plane stress tensor equations.

    Buy a copy of "Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain". This is pretty much the bible for quick calculations and will give you a very respectable citing source for your equations.
