Question: A pressure vessel with a 1 5 0 psig internal pressure is fabricated from a section of ( 4 8 ^ { prime

A pressure vessel with a 150 psig internal pressure is fabricated from a section of \(48^{\prime \prime}\)(nominal) diameter steel pipe. The pipe outside diameter is 48 inches and the inner diameter is 47.25 inches. A torque about the longitudinal axis of \(5\times 10^{5}\mathrm{ft}1\mathrm{lb}\) is also being applied to the pressure vessel. The steel material has a 35 ksi Yield Strength and \(15\%\) ductility.
Find: The factor of safety with respect to the yield strength - by applying the Distortion Energy theory.
