4. The cylindrical pressure vessel has an outer radius of 1.0 m and a wall thickness of 8 mm . It is made from steel plates that are welded along the \(40^{\circ}\) seam (Fig. P4). The pressure vessel is subjected to an intemal pressure of 5 MPa .[30 pts]
(a) Derive stress components at the surface of the pressure vessel. [5 pts]
(b) Construct Mohr's circle based on the stress components determined in (a).[10 pts]
(c) Determine the normal and shear stress on planes parallel and perpendicular to the weld seam. \([5\mathrm{pts}]\)
(d) Determine the maximum in-plane shear stress, the associated orientation of the element and the associated average normal stress. [5 pts]
(e) Determine the absolute maximum shear stress and the associated average normal stress. [5 pts]
Thickness of the pressure vessel made of steel: \(\mathrm{t}=8\mathrm{~mm}\)
