A spherical stainless-steel tank having an inner diameter ‘D’, is used to store natural gas at a pressure of ‘p’. The properties of the steel are as follows: yield stress in tension is ‘T’; yield stress in shear is ‘S’ and modulus of elasticity is ‘E’. The desired factor of safety with respect to yielding is ‘F.S’. Determine the minimum permissible thickness t min of the tank. (D (mm)=620)( p (MPa)=25)( T (MPa)=1000)( S (MPa)=440)( E (GPa)=208)( F.S=3.4)

Material Properties

Construction in civil engineering demands high strength, durability, and longevity. These targets can be achieved by better design and analysis, along with the correct choice of materials. Different materials have different properties and hence, they respond and performs differently under the various condition of external loadings. It is therefore a critical task of an engineer to select the right material based on the property that the material is supposed to function in real-time. When speaking about the property, there are different categories of material properties like chemical property, physical property, mechanical property, electrical property, magnetic property, thermal property, etc. These material properties form the basis of material selection in various applications.
