(20 points) A pressurized cylinder has an inner diameter of 4 inches and an outer diameter of 8 inches. The maximum allowable
strength of the material is 100,000 psi. Assuming an external pressure of zero and using a factor of safety of 2 :
a) what is the maximum internal pressure that the cylinder can withstand?
Special case of zero outside pressure, p0=0.
t=ri2piro2-ri2(1+ro2r2)
r=ri2piro2-ri2(1-ro2r2)
In this situation, the max stress is at ri.
(i)max=pi(r02+ri2r02-rj2)
(r)max=-pi
( 2 0 points ) A pressurized cylinder has an
