A client needs a closed cylindrical container that can traverse the sea in the vertical direction. The container is of steel make (E=200 GPa, Yield strength=400 MPa and Poisons ratio =0.3), with the internal diameter of the container being 1.5 m and length being 10 m. The internal pressure in the tank can be controlled, and the maximum internal pressure can go up to 30 MPa. Using MS Excel/Python, perform the following tasks.
a) Generic tool/computer program to predict the radial and circumferential stress profiles, their maxima and minima for given values of external pressure, internal pressure, thickness, etc. (2m)
b) Consider yielding as a design criterion, develop the internal pressure control charts (internal pressure vs. vertical depth of cylinder from top sea level) for thickness (100 mm,200 mm,300 mm and 400mm)(2m)
