Question 2

A thin walled spherical shell is subjected to an internal pressure. If the radius of the shell is increased by 1% and the thickness is reduced by 1%, with the internal pressure remaining the same, the percentage change in the circumferential (hoop) stress is

Question 3

A thin cylindrical vessel of 3.2 m diameter and 5 m long is subjected to a circumferential tensile stress of 140 N/mm2 and axial tensile stress of 70 N/mm2. If the volumetric strain of the vessel is 14×10-4, then the Poisson’s ratio of the material will be (Neglect the compressive stress on the walls and take E = 2×105 N/mm2)

Question 4

Question 5

The design of thin cylindrical shells is based on _____.

Question 6

What is the ratio of volumetric strain of a thin cylinder to that of a thin spherical shell having the same internal pressure, same material and same internal diameter and thickness of spherical is twice that of cylindrical? [Take poisson’s ratio = 0.4]

Question 7

The ratio of hoop stress to longitudinal stress in thin walled cylinders is:

Question 8

A thin cylindrical pressure vessel of diameter 800 mm and wall thickness 10 mm is given a coating which cracks when the strain reaches to 0.0002. The internal pressure (in MPa) at which cracking start in coating is (Take E = 210 GPa, Poisson ratio = 0.25)
