1. A hollow steel tube with an inside diameter of 100mm must carry a tensile load of
400 kN. Determine the outside diameter of the tube if the stress is limited to 120
MN/m2.
3. In the clevis shown in Fig. 1-11b, find the minimum bolt diameter and the minimum
thickness of each yoke that will support a load P = 14 kips without exceeding a
shearing stress of 12 ksi and a bearing stress of 20 ksi.
THIN-WALLED PRESSURE VESSELS
1. The wall thickness of a 4-ft-diameter spherical tank is 5/16 inch. Calculate the
allowable internal pressure if the stress is limited to 8000 psi.
2. Calculate the minimum wall thickness for a cylindrical vessel that is to carry a gas
at a pressure of 1400 psi. The diameter of the vessel is 2 ft, and the stress is limited
to 12 ksi.
3. The strength of longitudinal joint in Fig. 1-17 is 33 kips/ft, whereas for the girth is
16 kips/ft. Calculate the maximum diameter of the cylinder tank if the internal
pressure is 150 psi.
