Notes Plate 2

1. A thin-walled titanium alloy spherical shell filled with liquid has an additional 1000 cm3 of liquid pumped in, increasing the shell radius. The pressure after is calculated to be 109 MPa. 2. A proposed hydrogen fuel cell automobile tank design calls for a cylindrical stainless steel tank 0.4 m in diameter to hold hydrogen at 15 MPa pressure. The required wall thickness is calculated to be 5.2 mm. 3. A vertical water storage tank with a 4m radius and filled to a depth of 15m, made of steel with a yield point of 240 MPa and safety factor of 2, requires a wall thickness of 4.9 mm.

1. A thin-walled titanium alloy spherical shell has a 1-m inside diameter and is 7 mm thick.

It is
completely filled with an unpressurized, incompressible liquid. Through a small hole an
additional 1000 cm3 of the same liquid is pumped into the shell, thus increasing the shell radius.
Find the pressure after the additional liquid has been introduced and the hole closed. For this
titanium allow E = 114 GPa and the tensile yield point of the material to be 830 MPa.
Ans: 109 MPa
2. One proposed design for an energy-efficient automobile involves an on-board tank storing
hydrogen which would be released to a fuel cell. The tank is to be cylindrical, 0.4 m in diameter,
made of type 302 stainless steel having a working stress in tension of 290 MPa, and closed by
hemispherical end caps. The hydrogen would be pressurized to 15 MPa, when the tank is initially
filled. Determine the required wall thickness of the tank. Ans. h = 5.2 mm

3. A vertical axis circular cylindrical water storage tank of cross-sectional area A is filled to a depth
of 15 m. The tank is 4-m in radius and is made of steel having a yield point of 240 MPa. If a
safety factor of 2 is applied, determine the required tank wall thickness. The pressure in the
water is ɣy where y is measured from the free surface. Use ɣwater = 9800 N/m3.
Ans. h = 4.9 mm
4. A vertical cylindrical gasoline storage tank is 30 m in diameter and is filled to a depth of 15 m
with gasoline whose specific weight is 7260 N/m3. If the yield point of the shell plating is 250
MPa and a safety factor of 2.5 is adequate, calculate the required wall thickness at the bottom
of the tank. Ans. h = 16.7 mm

5. Consider a laminated cylinder consisting of a thin steel shell “shrunk” on an aluminum one. The
thickness of each is 2.5 mm and the mean diameter of the assembly is 10 cm. The initial
“interference” of the shells prior to assembly is 0.1 mm measured on a diameter. Find the
tangential stress in each shell caused by this shrink fit. For aluminum E = 70 GPa and for steel E =
200 GPa. Ans. σst = 51.8 MPa, σal = –51.8 MPa

6. A spherical tank for storing gas under pressure is 25 m in diameter and is made of structural
steel 15 mm thick. The yield point of the material is 250 MPa and a safety factor of 2.5 is
adequate. Determine the maximum permissible internal pressure, assuming the welded seams
between the various plates are as strong as the solid metal.
Ans. p = 0.24
MPa
7. A solid circular shaft is required to transmit 200 kW while turning at 90 rpm (rev/min). The
allowable shearing stress is 42 MPa. Find the required shaft diameter.
Ans: d= 0.137 m

8. A solid circular shaft has a uniform diameter of 5 cm and is 4 m long. At its midpoint 65 hp is
delivered to the shaft by means of a belt passing over a pulley. This power is used to drive two
machines, one at the left end of the shaft consuming 25 hp and one at the right end consuming
the remaining 40 hp. Determine the maximum shearing stress in the shaft and also the relative
angle of twist between the two extreme ends of the shaft. The shaft turns at 200 rpm and the
material is steel for which G = 80 GPa. Ans: Ƭρ= 58.1X 103 Pa, θ1= 0.0363 rad, θ2=
0.0581 rad

9. A stepped shaft has the appearance shown. The region AB is aluminum, having G = 28 GPa, and
the region BC is steel, having G = 84 GPa. The aluminum portion is of solid circular cross section
45 mm in diameter, and the steel region is circular with 60-mm outside diameter and 30-mm
inside diameter. Determine the maximum shearing stress in each material as well as the angle of
twist at B where a torsional load of 4000 N ⋅ m is applied. Ends A and C are rigidly clamped.
Ans: ƬAB= 35.6 MPa, ƬBC= 85.0 MPa, θB= 3.86°

10. A compound shaft is composed of a 70-cm length of solid copper 10 cm in diameter, joined to
90-cm length of solid steel 12 cm in diameter. A torque of 14 kN-m is applied to each end of the
shaft. Find the maximum shear stress in each material and the total angle of twist of the entire
shaft. For copper G = 40 GPa, for steel, G = 80 GPa.
Ans. In the copper, 71.3 MPa; in the steel, 41.3 MPa; θ =
0.0328
