QUESTION 3
A thin cylinder 3 m internal diameter, 8 m long with walls 4 mm thick is subjected to an internal
pressure of 30 kN/m², v=0.3, E=210 GPa. Determine:
(a) The hoop stress and longitudinal stress.
(b) The change in internal diameter and the change in length.
(c) If, in addition to the internal pressure, the cylinder is subject to a torque of 50 Nm find the
magnitude of the principal stresses set up in the cylinder.
