A cast-iron tube is used to support a compressive load. Knowing that \(E=10 \times 10^{6}\) psi and that the maximum allowable change in length is 0.025%, determine (a) the maximum normal stress in the tube, (b) the minimum wall thickness for a load of 1600 lb if the outside diameter of the tube is 2.0 in.

QUESTION:
A cast-iron tube is used to support a compressive load. Knowing that \(E=10 \times 10^{6}\) psi and that the maximum allowable change in length is 0.025%, determine (a) the maximum normal stress in the tube, (b) the minimum wall thickness for a load of 1600 lb if the outside diameter of the tube is 2.0 in.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 6
We will find the maximum possible stress using the formula for linear stress strain curve. The corresponding thickness (internal diameter) can be computed by dividing the applied load by the stress thus obtained.
Given data are
Outside diameter of tube:
Required thickness of pipe:
Applied load:
Modulus of elasticity:
