A scuba tank is being designed for an internal pressure of 1600 psi with a factor of safety of 2.0 with respect to yielding. The yield stress of the steel is 35,000 psi along its hoop direction and 16,000 psi in longitudinal direction. If the inside diameter of the tank is 7.0 in., what is the minimum required wall thickness? (Show complete calculation and step by step process. Show free body diagram)
Consider the steel pressure vessel shown in Figure 1, intended to withstand an internal pressure of 40 MPa. The vessel has an outer diameter of 300 mm, an overall length of 500 mm and a wall thickness of 30 mm. There is a 30 mm fillet radius where the interior wall surface joins the end caps, as shown in the section view in Figure 1. The vessel is made of ASTM A27 steel.

PROBLEM 2A tri metallic bar is uniformly compressed by an axial force P=12kN applied through a rigid end plate. The bar consists of a circular steel core surrounded by brass and copper tubes. The steel core has a diameter 10mm, the brass tube has an oute diameter of 15mm and the copper tube has an outer diameter of 20mm. E for steel =210Gpa, E for brass =100GPa and E for copper is 120GPa. Calculate the compressive stress of each metal due to force P.
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
Figure Q2 shows the cross-section of a closed ended thick-walled cylinder with inner radius, ri, 0.1 mand outer radius, ro, 0.2 m. The cylinder is subjected to internal pressure, pi and external pressure, po.One of the design specifications is to maintain the hoop stress at the outer surface of the cylinder at zerovalue. If po = 50 MPa and by using Lame’s equations for thick-walled cylinder, (a) determine the value of pi to achieve the design specification (b) sketch the hoop, radial, and longitudinal stress variations across the wall thickness and label their values at the inner and outer radius of the cylinder (c) determine the absolute maximum shear stress existing in the cylinder wall material
A bracket shown in Fig.(2) is fastened to the wall by four bolts equispaced on a (10 cm) diameter bolt circle. The bracket is subjected to a fluctuating force (0-50 N) . Find the forces acting on each bolt and then choose a suitable bolt size and a preload that will give minimum safety factor (1.5) for any mode of failure.
A load of F=590 kgf will be hung on a Workshop crane as in the figure. The pole to be used has a diameter of D= 59 mm and a wall thickness of t= 8 mm. Other dimensions are H = 2046 mm, L = 1364 mm. If we take the yield strength of the steel used as cak= 463 MPa, how many times is the system safe when it is calculated according to the point where it is connected to the ground?
