Chapter 8 Problem 8-7

Question

A boiler is constructed of 8-mm-thick steel plates that are fastened together at their ends using a butt joint consisting of two 8-mm cover plates and rivets having a diameter of 10 mm and spaced 50 mm apart as shown. If the steam pressure in the boiler is 1.35 MPa, determine (a) the circumferential stress in the boiler’s plate away from the seam, (b) the circumferential stress in the outer cover plate along the rivet line a–a, and (c) the shear stress in the rivets.

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 8 problem number 7 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A boiler is constructed of 8-mm-thick steel plates that are fastened together at their ends using a butt joint consisting of two 8-mm cover plates and rivets having a diameter of 10 mm and spaced 50 mm apart as shown. If the steam pressure in the boiler is 1.35 MPa, determine (a) the circumferential stress in the boiler’s plate away from the seam, (b) the circumferential stress in the outer cover plate along the rivet line a–a, and (c) the shear stress in the rivets.
From the textbook chapter Combined Loadings you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
