Question: A spherical pressure vessel has a diameter ( d ) of 2 0 0 mm and is subjected to internal pressure ( P ) .

A spherical pressure vessel has a diameter (d) of 200 mm and is subjected to internal
pressure (P). The thickness of (t) the steel sheet is 1.25 mm and design factor of 1.5 is
required. Find the allowable pressure to initiate yielding if the vessel is formed from
(a) Cold-drawn AISI 1030(Use non-conservative theory).
(b) Cast iron grade 30(Use brittle Coulomb-Mohr theory).
NOTE:
The in-plane shear stresses are zero.
The membrane stresses are x=y=Pd4t and the through-thickness stress is z=-P
