If it is subjected to an internal pressure of p = 300 kPa, determine its required thickness if the maximum normal stress is not to exceed 12 MPa.
2. The tank of the air compressor is subjected to an internal pressure of 0.63 MPa. If the internal diameter of the tank is 550 mm, and the wall thickness is 6 mm, determine the stress components acting at point A. Draw a volume element of the material at this point, and show the results on the element.
3. The cap on the cylindrical tank is bolted to the tank along the flanges. The tank has an inner diameter of 1.5 m and a wall thickness of 18 mm. If the largest normal stress is not to exceed 150 MPa, determine the maximum pressure the tank can sustain. Also, compute the number of bolts required to attach the cap to the tank if each bolt has a diameter of 20 mm. The allowable stress for the bolts is (allow)b = 180 MPa.
4. The steel bracket is used to connect the ends of two cables. If the allowable normal stress for the steel is allow = 168 MPa, determine the largest tensile force P that can be applied to the cables. The bracket has a thickness of 12 mm and a width of 18 mm.
5. The vertical force P acts on the bottom of the plate having a negligible weight. Determine the maximum distance d to the edge of the plate at which it can be applied so that it produces no compressive stresses on the plate at section a-a. The plate has a thickness of 10 mm and P acts along the centerline of this thickness.
6. The bar has a diameter of 40 mm. If it is subjected to a force of 800 N as shown, determine the stress components that act at point A and show the results on a volume element located at this point.
7. Since concrete can support little or no tension, this problem can be avoided by using wires or rods to prestress the concrete once it is formed. Consider the simply supported beam shown, which has a rectangular cross section of 450 mm by 300 mm. If concrete has a specific weight of 24 kN/m3, determine the required tension in rod AB, which runs through the beam so that no tensile stress is developed in the concrete at its center section a-a. Neglect the size of the rod and any deflection of the beam.
8. The wide-flange beam is subjected to the loading shown. Determine the stress components at points A and B and show the results on a volume element at each of these points. Use the shear formula to compute the shear stress.
9. The masonry pier is subjected to the 800-kN load. If x = 0.25 m and y = 0.5 m, determine the normal stress at each corner A, B, C, D (not shown) and plot the stress distribution over the cross section. Neglect the weight of the pier.
