    This document summarizes an experiment to measure strains in a thin aluminum alloy cylinder subjected to internal pressure and torsional loading. Strains are measured using linear strain gauges oriented longitudinally and circumferentially, as well as rosette strain gauges. The measured strains are then compared to calculated values to validate stress analysis calculations for the cylinder under different loading conditions.

    Thin Cylinder Experiment

    INTRODUTION
    The experiment is designed to provide measured values of strains in the thin
    cylinder when subjected to internal pressure and torsional loading. The
    stresses derived from these strains may then be compared with calculated
    values.

    APPARATUS
    Aluminium alloy* cylinder: 3.175 mm thick, 95.25 mm internal diameter, 406.4
    mm long. The ends are welded, one being fixed to the frame, the other
    supported but free to rotate.

    Internal pressurization is achieved by a hand pump and measured by a


    Bourdon gauge.

    Twisting is achieved by pressurizing two hydraulic actuators which rotate the


    arm attached to the free end of the cylinder. The actuators have a piston
    diameter of 38.1 mm and an overall lever arm of 203.4 mm.

    *Material Properties:
    Elastic modulus 74.88 GN/m2
    Poisson’s ratio 0.32

    STRAIN GAUGES (nominal resistance 120 ohms, gauge factor 2.11).

    Description Orientation
    Linear 00 (longitudinal)
    Linear 900 (circumferential)
    0
    Rosette A -15
    RosetteB 300
    Rosette C 750

    PROCEDURE
    1) Increase the pressure with the torsion line out of circuit in suitable
    increments up to 1.382 MN/m2 measuring strains at each increment.

    2) Repeat (1) with the torsion line in circuit and the cylinder line out of circuit.
    You will need to calibrate the torsion load cells to determine torque from
    pressure.

    3) Repeat (1) with both internal pressure and torsion lines in circuit.
    ANALYSIS
    1) Determine longitudinal and circumferential strains from the rosette
    readings, and compare these with the strains measured directly by the
    longitudinal and circumferential gauges.

    2) Compare the experimental and calculated principal stresses (magnitude


    and direction) for all three load cases.

    DISCUSSION
    1) Comment generally on the apparatus and the accuracy of measurement.

    2) How important are the assumed values of the elastic constants in the
    comparison between experimental and calculated stresses ?

    3) Are the thin cylinder assumptions justified ?

    4) What might be the effect on the results if the cylinder material were in the
    “as drawn” condition ?
