A 10 m long, cylindrical pressure vessel has closed ends with a wall thickness of 5 mm, and a diameter at mid-thickness of 3 m. If the vessel is filled with air to a pressure of 2 MPa, how much do the length, diameter, and wall thickness change, and in each case state whether the change is an increase or a decrease. (c) The vessel is made of a steel having Young's modulus, E = 200 GPa and the Poisson's ratio, v = 0.3. Neglect any effects associated with the details of how the ends are attached.

ANSWER QUESTION 4 PART C

Transcribed Image Text:Question 4.
(a)
Draw and annotate the stress-strain curve for a typical metal.
Describe how you would determine the Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio and yield
stress of a metal using a simple uniaxial tension test.
(b)
A 10 m long, cylindrical pressure vessel has closed ends with a wall thickness of 5 mm,
and a diameter at mid-thickness of 3 m. If the vessel is filled with air to a pressure of
2 MPa, how much do the length, diameter, and wall thickness change, and in each case
state whether the change is an increase or a decrease.
(c)
The vessel is made of a steel having Young's modulus, E = 200 GPa and the Poisson's
ratio, v = 0.3. Neglect any effects associated with the details of how the ends are
attached.
