Tutorial-5 1

The document presents two problems related to the mechanics of cylindrical boilers. The first problem involves calculating the pressure a cylindrical boiler can withstand based on its dimensions and material properties, while the second problem focuses on determining hoop and longitudinal stresses as well as the percentage change in volume of a thin cylinder under internal pressure. Both problems require the use of material constants such as Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio.

AT1.

A cylindrical boiler is 800 mm in diameter and 1 m


length. If the permissible tensile stress is 15 N/mm2,
permissible shear stress is 10 N/mm2 and permissible
change in diameter is 0.25 mm, find the pressure to be
borne by the cylinder if the thickness of the metal is
10mm. Take E = 90 GPa, and μ = 0.28. Compute the
change in length for the pressure determined. (Ans:
0.0367 mm)

AT2. At a point in a thin cylinder subjected to internal


fluid pressure, the value of hoop strain is 600×10-4
(tensile). Compute the hoop and longitudinal stresses.
How much is the percentage change in the volume of the
cylinder? Take E=200 GPa and μ = 0.28.
