A cast iron tube 3m long is completely filled with concrete and used as a vertical strut. if the external diameter of the tube is 40mm and the wall is 35mm thick, determine the maximum compressive load, the composite strut can support if the stress in the concrete is not to exceed 2N/mm^2. By how much should the strut shorten under the load. For cast iron Ea=100 GN/m^2 and for concrete , Eb=10 GN/m^2
1. An underwater vehicle that can be approximated as a sphere of radius r = 0.8 m is to operate at depth h=1000 m. It is constructed by joining two hemispheres with 40 equally spaced bolts, Figure Q1. The allowable stress for the bolts is 100 MPa. The sphere is filled with air at pressure p = 600 kPa. If the material of the sphere is steel with yield stress gx=600 MPa, and the factor of safety is n = 2.5 with respect to yielding, calculate the bolt diameter d and the required thickness of the sphere t. Assumptions: (a) The sphere may be treated as a thin-walled pressure vessel. (b) The sea water density p= 1000 kg/m³. (c) Buckling of the vessel will not occur.

A cylindrical pressure vessel is made by shrinking a brass shell over a mild steel shell. Both cylinders have a wall thickness of 6 mm. The nominal diameter of the vessel is 750 mm and is to be used in all calculations involving the diameter. When the brass cylinder is heated 50°C above room temperature, it exactly fits over the steel cylinder which is at room temperature. What is the stress in the brass cylinder when the composite vessels cool to room temperature? E for steel=200 GPA E for brass = 100 GPA a for steel = 12 x 10"/C a for brass = 19 x 106/°C Wrong answers will be downvoted

Engineer firms in many situations must verify the reliability of existing purchased designs. Your role as a quality engineer at an oil refinery is to confirm the maximum stresses imposed by a 1.03 MPa propane pressure inside the 20-lb design cylinder shown in Figure.3(a), at 25°C, which acts as a pressurized cylinder once the gate valve is closed. If the cylinder is made of 2.5-mm-thick steel and can be approximated as shown in Figure.3(c). Evaluate the maximum longitudinal and hoop stresses. 308 mm OL H 447 mm B (b)

Design a suitable wire rope to lift a load of 13 kN of debris from a well 70 m deep. The rope should have a factor of safety equal to 6. The weight of the bucket is 7.5 kN. The load is lifted with a maximum speed of 150 m/min which is attained in 1 second. Find also the stress induced in the rope due to starting with an initial slack of 250 mm. The average tensile strength of the rope may be taken as 590 d2 Newtons (where d is the rope diameter in mm) for 6 x 19 wire rope. The weight of the rope is 18.5 N/m. Take the diameter of the wire (dw) = 0.063d and area of rope A = 0.38 d2.
