Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A hollow cylinder of radius 5 m experiences a uniform radial displacement of 0.2 m. Calculate the new dimensions of the circumferential line. Discuss the resultant strain as well.
💡 Hint: Use the basic strain formula for cylindrical shapes.
Design a cylindrical container considering the effects of u_z under a load of 1000N. How should the material be selected to mitigate excessive vertical displacement?
💡 Hint: Consider the principles of material science in your calculations.
