A strain gauge is mounted to the outer surface of a thin-walled boiler, as shown in Figure. The boiler has an inside diameter of 2,600 mm and a wall thickness of 25 mm, and it is made of stainless steel [E=193 GPa; v=0.27]. Determine - (a) the internal pressure in the boiler when the strain gauge reads 196 pe. b) the maximum shear strain in the plane of he boiler wall.

and a wall thickness of 25 mm, and it is made
of stainless steel [E=193 GPa; v=0.27].
Determine -
(a) the internal pressure in the boiler when
the strain gauge reads 196 pe.
(b) the maximum shear strain in the plane of
the boiler wall.
