A cylindrical pressure vessel with flat ends of length 6 ft and inner diameter of 35 in. is subjected to an internal gauge pressure of 150 psi. Neglect the end effects and the mass of ends of the pressure vessel in your design. Take the factor of safety as 1.95:

1. Design the radial thickness of the pressure vessel using steel. For steel, assume that the Young’s modulus is 30 Msi, Poisson’s ratio is 0.3, specific gravity of steel is 7.8, and the ultimate normal tensile and compressive strength is 36 ksi.


2. Find the axial elongation of the steel pressure vessel designed in part (1), assuming plane stress conditions.


3. Find whether graphite/epoxy would be a better material to use for minimizing mass if, in addition to resisting the applied pressure, the axial elongation of the pressure vessel does not exceed that of the steel pressure vessel. The vessel operates at room temperature and curing residual stresses are neglected for simplification. The following are other specifications of the design:


Only 0°, +45°, –45°, +60°, –60°, and 90° plies can be used.


The thickness of each lamina is 0.005 in.


Use specific gravities of the laminae from Example 5.6.


Use Tsai–Wu failure criterion for calculating strength ratios.

An engine is coupled to a rotating drum by a friction clutch which has a single plate faced on each side with a ring of friction material. The inner and outer diameters of the friction faces are 224 mm and 300 mm respectively. The coefficient of friction is 0,3. Other data available are: axial pressure on plate = 1350 N ; engine torque is constant at 40,7 N.m inertia of engine equivalent to a flywheel of mass 20,7 kg; and radius of gyration k=0.305 m. Drum mass is 54,5 kg; radius of gyration k=0,38 m; total friction torque in bearings = 6,8 N.m; and the clutch is engaged when engine speed is 500 r/min and the drum is at rest.

Assuming uniform wear conditions, find the engine speed at which the clutch ceases slipping and the total time for the drum to reach 500 r/min.
