Two identical spherical pressure vessels

are used at a factory. Vessel A is

maintained at an internal pressure of X,
while Vessel B is maintained at an
internal pressure of 2X. Cyclical pressure
variation of 100 MPa is then applied to
each vessel. Which is correct? A, B
refers to each vessel.

An engineer plots stress

histories for two
cylindrical pressure
vessels. The plots are to
scale. Both vessels were
installed at the same
time. The company only
has enough money to
replace one vessel at a
time. Which vessel is the
most likely to be
replaced?

A. A B. B C. Either one
