Mechanical Engineering

A cylindrical pressure vessel is subjected to an internalpressure of 350psi. The initial
dimensions of the vessel prior to pressurization are a diameter of12.00 inches, a length of 24.00
inches and a wall thickness of 0.06 inches. The material used inthe vessel is steel with σy= 60,000 psi, (σ)̅ = 90,000(ε)̅)0.2
, E = 30 × 10^6psi, ν = 0.3.

a. What amount of axial stress must be applied in addition tothe stresses produced by the internal
pressure to result in yielding?
b. If the axial stress applied (in the addition to the stressesproduced by the pressure) is 50,000 psi.
What is the new cylinder length?
