Question: Problem 2 The pressure tank shown has a 1 0 - m m wall thickness and can be simplified to be of a perfect hollow

Problem 2
The pressure tank shown has a 10-mm wall thickness and can be simplified to be of a perfect hollow
cylindrical shape and the end-caps can be simplified to be flat. The density of the tanks material is
steel=7850kgm3. The density of the stored fluid under the pressure of p=1MPa is 35kgm3. The
tank can freely rotate about the supports (like hinged supports). The distance between the supports
is 2.5m. Determine
(a) the maximum normal stress due to bending and its position
(b) the shearing stress distribution in this cross-section
c) draw the stress distributions in the cross-section for a) and b)
If the right support settles during installation unevenly to give a twist of 1 about the longitudinal
axis of the tank:
c) what shear stresses due to torsion will be caused by that?
d) draw the stress distribution in the center cross-section
d) Determine the principle stresses at the top and bottom and half the height of the tank in this
cross-section and draw the corresponding stresses element.
a)
