i quickly looked at hoop stress and its perfect for what i need, I am not familiar with the mechanics of these formulas but it seems pretty straight forward.
Im only working with pressures of upto 200psi within a small container as an air mortor for fx in a film, but i need to run up the risk...
Hi,
thankyou very much for the very swift answer but there are a few details i lack.
i found that the tensile strength of aluminium is 145.037738 lbf/in2 (psi)
what i couldn't find was the variable of thickness as quite obviously 1mm of alu is weaker than 4mm thick although the area would be...
Hello, this is my first post, i hope somebody can help me.
I have searched for the answer myself all over on the web and here, but I am stuck.
Im trying to work out the maximum pressure (psi) that i can get into an aluminium cylinder that's 80mm wide and 250mm tall and 4mm thick
ive found...
