Q3- A steel pressure vessel is sealed by a steel gasketed cap fastened with 8 preloaded bolts as shown in figure below. The cylinder stores gas at a maximum pressure P=1200 psi. The thickness of the gasketed cap is te =0.5 in, the diameter of the cylinder is d. = 3.25 in, and the diameter of the bolt circle is dbe=5.5 in. Also, tp-0.5 in. It has been decided to use 7/16 -14 UNC 5/4 (L=bolt length) SAE Grade 8 hex-head bolts with washer. You may assume a non-permanent connection. Determine the load factor n, and the joint separation factor no. (Elasticity modulus for steel, Esteel=30 Mpsi) %3D
