A long steel tube, 7.5 cm internal diameter and 0.15 cm thick, is plugged at the ends and subjected to internal fluid pressure such that the maximum direct stress in the tube is 120 MN/m². Assuming v = 0.3 and E = 200 GN/m², find the percentage increase in the capacity of the tube.

Assuming v = 0.3 and E = 200 GN/m², find the percentage increase in the capacity of the tube.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

SOLUTION To find the percentage increase in the capacity of the tube we first need to calculate the original capacity of the tube and then calculate the increased capacity after the tube is subjected ... View the full answer
