SAMPLE PROBLEMS
PROBLEM 1
Two loads are applied to the bracket BCD as shown.
(a) Knowing that the control rod AB is to be made of a
steel having an ultimate normal stress of 600 MPa,
determine the diameter of the rod for which the
factor of safety with respect to failure will be 3.3.
(b) The pin at C is to be made of a steel having an
ultimate shearing stress of 350 MPa. Determine
the diameter of the pin C for which the factor of
safety with respect to shear will also be 3.3.
(c) Determine the required thickness of the bracket
supports at C, knowing that the allowable bearing
stress of the steel used is 300 MPa.

THIN WALLED PRESSURE VESSELS
❑Cylindrical or spherical vessels are commonly used
in industry to serve as boilers or tanks. When under
pressure, the material of which they are made is
subjected to a loading from all directions.
❑Although this is the case, the vessel can be analyzed
in a simple manner provided it has a thin wall.

SAMPLE PROBLEMS
PROBLEM 1
Determine the stress tangential and
longitudinal stress at the walls of a 200mm
diameter pipe (outside dimension), 12mm
thick under a pressure of 3.5 MPa.
PROBLEM 2
The outside diameter of a steel pipe is known
to be 150 mm with a thickness of 5 mm.
Determine the maximum pressure that the
pipe can withstand if the ultimate stress of the
vessel is 200 MPa with a factor of safety of 1.2.

SAMPLE PROBLEMS
PROBLEM 3
A pressurized spherical tank is
sealed along its flange using steel
bolts. The inside diameter d of the
spherical is 24 in and the thickness
is 0.5 in. Applying a maximum
pressure of 600 psi, determine the
diameter of bolt required if 12 bolts
will be used to fasten and seal the
tank and if the allowable stress in
each bolt is limited to 10,000 psi.

SAMPLE PROBLEMS
PROBLEM 4
The pipe carrying steam at 3.5 MPa has an
outer diameter of 450 mm and a wall
thickness of 10 mm. A gasket is inserted
between the flange at one end of the pipe,
and a flat plate is used to cap the end.
(a) How many 40-mm-diameter bolts must be
used to hold the cap on if the allowable stress
in the bolts is 80 MPa, of which 55 MPa is the
initial stress?
(b) What circumferential stress is developed
in the pipe?
