A cylindrical pressure vessel is fabricated from steel plating that has a thickness of 42 mm. The diameter of the pressure vessel is 450 mm and its length is 2.0 m. Determine the maximum internal pressure that can be applied if the longitudinal stress is limited to 140 MPa, and the circumferential stress is limited to 60 MPa.

Question

Transcribed Image Text:A cylindrical pressure vessel is
fabricated from steel plating
that has a thickness of 42 mm.
The diameter of the pressure
vessel is 450 mm and its length
is 2.0 m. Determine the
maximum internal pressure that
can be applied if the longitudinal
stress is limited to 140 MPa, and
the circumferential stress is
limited to 60 MPa. *

Transcribed Image Text:A cylindrical steel pressure
vessel 400 mm in diameter with
a wall thickness of 20 mm, is
subjected to an internal
pressure of 5 MN/m^2. (a)
Determine the safe stress
between the tangential and
longitudinal sections in the
steel. (b) To what value may the
internal pressure be increased if
the stress in the steel is limited
to 120 MPa? (c) If the internal
pressure were increased until
the vessel burst, sketch the type
of fracture that would occur.
