A thin cylindrical pressure vessel of 250 mm diameter and 5 mm thickness is rigidly attached at one end. Determine maximum shear stress and the associated normal stress at point A .

Answer:

22.5 N/mm^2; 0.196 MPa.

Explanation:

maximum shear stress can be defined as the difference between hoop stress and the longitudinal stress all divided by two(2). It can be represented mathematically by;

maximum shear stress =( hoop stress - longitudinal stress)/ 2.

To Calculate the hoop stress, we need the formula below:

[Internal pressure (p) × diameter (d)] ÷ 2 × thickness (t).

==> 1.2 × 250/ 5× 2= 30 N/mm^2 = 30 MPa.

Longitudinal stress can be calculated using the formula below;

Internal pressure (p) × diameter (d)] ÷ 4 × thickness (t).

==> 1.2 × 250/ 4 × 5 = 15 N/mm^2 = 15 MPa.

Therefore, maximum shear stress =( hoop stress - longitudinal stress)/ 2.

maximum shear stress = (30 + 15)/2.

=> 22.5 N/mm^2.

===> Normal stress = Axial force P/Area.

=20 kN/ (2πr^2 + 2πrh).

= 20000N/ ( 2× 3.143 × 125^2 + 2 × 3.143 × 125 × 5).

= 20000/( 98218.75 + 3928.75).

= 20000/ 102147.5.

= 0.196 MPa.
