A special aluminum soda can has an outside diameter of 56mm and an inside diameter of 55 mm
The can is capped at both ends and the internal pressure is 1MPa.
Remember this is a thin-walled pressure vessel in plane stress. If the yield stress is 170MPa, will
the can fail?
Show all work in agonizing detail. Remember that failure condition for a 3-d Mohrs circle.
A.
n = 3.06, will not fail
B.
n = 6.18 will not fail
C.
n = 0.33, will fail
D.
n=1.3, will not fail
E.
None of these
