Chapter 10 Problem 10-55

Question

A thin-walled spherical pressure vessel having an inner radius r and thickness t is subjected to an internal pressure p. Show that the increase in the volume within the vessel is \(\Delta V=\left(2 p \pi r^{4} / E t\right)(1 - \nu)\). Use a small-strain analysis.

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 10 problem number 55 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A thin-walled spherical pressure vessel having an inner radius r and thickness t is subjected to an internal pressure p. Show that the increase in the volume within the vessel is \(\Delta V=\left(2 p \pi r^{4} / E t\right)(1 - \nu)\). Use a small-strain analysis.
From the textbook chapter Strain Transformation you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
