Textbook Solutions for Mechanics of Materials

Chapter 10 Problem 10-36

Question

The spherical pressure vessel has an inner diameter of 2 m and a thickness of 10 mm. A strain gage having a length of 20 mm is attached to it, and it is observed to increase in length by 0.012 mm when the vessel is pressurized. Determine the pressure causing this deformation, and find the maximum in-plane shear stress, and the absolute maximum shear stress at a point on the outer surface of the vessel. The material is steel, for which \(E_{\mathrm{st}}=200\ \mathrm{GPa}\) and \(\nu_{\mathrm{st}}=0.3\).

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 10 problem number 36 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The spherical pressure vessel has an inner diameter of 2 m and a thickness of 10 mm. A strain gage having a length of 20 mm is attached to it, and it is observed to increase in length by 0.012 mm when the vessel is pressurized. Determine the pressure causing this deformation, and find the maximum in-plane shear stress, and the absolute maximum shear stress at a point on the outer surface of the vessel. The material is steel, for which \(E_{\mathrm{st}}=200\ \mathrm{GPa}\) and \(\nu_{\mathrm{st}}=0.3\).
From the textbook chapter Strain Transformation you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
