Question
A cylindrical pressure vessel is fabricated from steel plates which have a thickness of 20 mm. The
diameter of a pressure vessel is 500 mm and its length is 3.0 m. Determine the maximum
internal pressure which can be applied if the stress in the steel is limited to 140 MPa. If the the
internal pressure were increased until the vessel burst, sketch the type of fracture which would
occur. Write in a paper with complete solution
