Many thanks to those who gave me input on my other question.
My new question is... what is the compressive strength of steel?
is it the same as the tensile strength? or critical compressive stress?
none of my textbooks list this value, and the really the only value i can find online on...
im very constricted as to my space, and although a trench is the best idea... someone else told me about it as well, its just plain infeasible for this application. We can't dig up the ground in our warehouse.
ANd this site i found is so so. IF you look in the appendix A you'll see the...
Very nice...
I found this as well

it seems, however, that I am going to get different results if i do calculations based on either page..
We'll see I'll crunch some numbers today
thanks for the input fellas
The pressurized fluid is water. As we fill the tube with h20 we bleed air out. So my worst case scenario is that air isn't bled out and a large amount of air becomes a very small pocket of air at 5000 psi with some fairly high PE.
water submersion isn't a bad...
ok well that's what i assumed. For some reason it seemed like a question that i'd done in me strength of materials class.
Is there no way to do this without ansys or some other Finite Element analysis program?
Let me make the question simpler for you
We have a pressure testing tube...
howdy all
I have come across a strength of materials/mechanics question that I cannot solve.
Basically, the question is..
i have a projectile of known mass and material traveling at a known velocity towards a plate. The plate's dimensions (base and height) are known, as well as the mass...
