A cylindrical pressure vessel with outside diameter of a = 9 m is composed of wrought 2024-T4 aluminum. A factor of safety of 2.9 against fracture is specified for the vessel. (a) Find the maximum allowable internal pressure the vessel can contain if the wall thickness b is 7 mm. (b) Find the required wall thickness b if the internal pressure must be increased to 1010 kPa.
