Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A pressure vessel of radius 8 cm and wall thickness 0.4 cm is tested at an internal pressure of 600 kPa. Calculate both axial and hoop stresses. Discuss the implications of these stresses in design.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use both formulas and consider material limits.

Question 2

Describe how axial stress calculations differ between thin-walled and thick-walled pressure vessels, providing an example for each.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the formulas for each type of vessel.
