A cylindrical pressure vessel is subjected to an internal
pressure of 350psi. The initial
dimensions of the vessel prior to pressurization are a diameter of
12.00 inches, a length of 24.00
inches and a wall thickness of 0.06 inches. The material used in
the vessel is steel with σy= 60,000 psi, (σ)̅ = 90,000(ε)̅
)0.2
, E = 30 × 10^6psi, ν = 0.3.
a. What amount of axial stress must be applied in addition to
the stresses produced by the internal
pressure to result in yielding?
b. If the axial stress applied (in the addition to the stresses
produced by the pressure) is 50,000 psi.
What is the new cylinder length?
