Air is pumped into the steel thin-walled pressure vessel

Chapter 10, Problem 10-53

(choose chapter or problem)

Air is pumped into the steel thin-walled pressure vessel at C. If the ends of the vessel are closed using two pistons connected by a rod AB, determine the increase in the diameter of the pressure vessel when the internal gauge pressure is 5 MPa. Also, what is the tensile stress in rod AB if it has a diameter of 100 mm? The inner radius of the vessel is 400 mm, and its thickness is 10 mm. \(E_{\mathrm{st}}=200 \mathrm{GPa}\) and \(\nu_{\mathrm{st}}=0.3\).
