Question
A spherical pressure vessel has an inside diameter of 4 m and a wall
thickness of 15 mm. The vessel will be constructed from structural steel
[E = 200 GPa; v = 0.29] that has a yield strength of 203 MPa. If the
internal pressure in the vessel is 1930 kPa, determine the factor of
safety with respect to the yield strength.
