AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on verifying the approach to calculating weld stress in a pressure vessel scenario. The user presents a diagram depicting a cylindrical plug welded into a wall and seeks confirmation on their method. Responses indicate that the user's calculations appear correct. The inquiry is part of a larger academic project. Overall, the feedback suggests that the user's approach is on the right track.

I need someone to tell me if I am approaching this in the right way. In my diagram I tried to show a section view of a wall of a pressure vessel with a cylindrical plug welded into a hole in that wall. I am trying find the stress on the welds in question. This is a small part of a larger project I am working on for school, I am just trying to figure out if my approach is right. See my attempt below. Thank you.

Your calculation of the stress in the weld looks OK.
 
Thanks
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
