PROBLEM SET #1

NAME OF STUDENT:________________________________ ID #_________________ Date:________________________

Random Number – based on students ID Number; Ex. 23-1047-888


RN1- number based from the fourth digit; RN1 – 7401
RN2- number based from the third digit; RN2 – 4017
RN3- number based from the second digit; RN3 – 0471

Instruction:Solve the following problems with complete solutions using your ID# as
illustrated above. Make sure your solutions are written neatly in the space provided
below. Box your final answer.

1. A cylindrical steel pressure vessel 400 mm in diameter with a wall thickness


of (20 + 0.00025*RN1) mm, is subjected to an internal pressure of (4.5 +
0.00025*RN2) Mpa. (a) Calculate the tangential and longitudinal stresses in
the steel. (b) To what value may the internal pressure be increased if the
stress in the steel is limited to (120 + 0.00025*RN3) MN/m2? (c) If the
internal pressure were increased until the vessel burst, sketch the type of
fracture that would occur.

2. The wall thickness of a 4-ft-diameter spherical tank is 5/16 in. (A)Calculate


the allowable internal pressure if the stress is limited to (8000 + 0.0003*RN3)
psi. (B)Calculate the minimum wall thickness for a cylindrical vessel that is
to carry a gas at a pressure of (1400 + 0.0003*RN2) psi.

3. A steel rod having a cross-sectional area of (300 + 0.00035*RN1) mm2 and a


length of (150 + 0.00035*RN2) m is suspended vertically from one end. It
supports a tensile load of (20 + 0.00035*RN3) kN at the lower end. If the unit
mass of steel is 7850 kg/m3 and E = 200 × 103 MN/m2, find the total elongation
of the rod.

4. Two cylindrical rods, one of steel and the other of brass, are joined at C
and restrained by rigid supports at A and E. For the loading shown and knowing
that Es = (200 + 0.0004*RN1) GPa and Eb = (105 + 0.0004*RN2) GPa, determine
(a) the reactions at A and E, (b) thedeflection of point C.?

5. A (1 + 0.00045*RN3)-in. square was scribed on the side of a large steel


pressure vessel. After pressurization the biaxial stress condition at the
square is as shown. Knowing that E = 29 x 106 psi and v = (0.30 + 0.000045*RN2),
determine the change in length of (a) side AB, (b) side BC, (c) diagonal AC.
