Pressure Vessels

The figure shows a thin cylindrical pressure vessel constructed by welding plates together along a line that makes an angle $\alpha = 60^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The closed vessel has a wall thickness of 10 mm and d...

A thin-walled cylindrical pressure vessel has mean wall thickness of t and nominal radius of r. The Poisson’s ratio of the wall material is 1/3. When it was subjected to some internal pressure, its nominal perimeter in t...

A thin cylindrical pressure vessel with closed-ends is subjected to internal pressure. The ratio of circumferential (hoop) stress to the longitudinal stress is

A cylindrical tank with closed ends is filled with compressed air at a pressure of $$500 kP$$a. The inner radius of the tank is $$2 m,$$ and it has wall thickness of $$10 mm.$$ The magnitude of maximum in-plane shear str...

A gas is stored in a cylindrical tank of inner radius $$7$$ m and wall thickness $$50$$ mm. The gage pressure of the gas is $$2$$ MPa. The maximum shear stress (in MPa) in the wall is

A thin gas cylinder with an internal radius of 100 mm is subject to an internal pressure of 10 MPa. The maximum permissible working stress is restricted to 100 MPa. The minimum cylinder wall thickness (in mm) for safe de...

A long thin walled cylindrical shell, closed at both the ends, is subjected to an internal pressure. The ratio of the hoop stress (circumferential stress) to longitudinal stress developed in the shell is

A thin walled spherical shell is subjected to an internal pressure. If the radius of the shell is increased by 1% and the thickness is reduced by 1%, with the internal pressure remaining the same, the percentage change i...

A thin cylinder of $$100$$mm internal diameter and $$5$$mm thickness is subjected to an internal pressure of $$10$$ MPa and a torque of $$2000$$ Nm. Calculate the magnitudes of the principal stresses.
