    Pressure Strain
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the maximum allowable pressure for a cylindrical pressure vessel and determining the pressure corresponding to a strain of 40 µε. The maximum allowable pressure, considering a safety factor of 4, is derived to be 0.75 MPa based on a calculated hoop stress of 3 MPa. Participants discuss the application of Young's modulus and the hoop stress equation, emphasizing the need for proper understanding of yield criteria, particularly the von Mises criterion. For the strain calculation, the correct approach involves using the relationship between stress and strain, but participants express confusion over the necessary parameters, such as Poisson's ratio. The conversation highlights the challenges faced by distance learning students in grasping complex engineering concepts.

Fair play to you for sticking with it. I'm into the mechanical side of things so don't really deal with beams but i should be able to understand it.
What side of work do you want to be in? civils? Thanks so much for the start, I'm going to push the EI working out to one side take your start and go back to the lessons.

by the way I've done analytical methods, Engineering science, Applications of pneumatics and hydraulics so if i can help with those let me know. it was all going well till this bl**dy question!

I started as a motorcycle tech and went into heavy rotating plant so we aint that different! I'm happy with my job but wanted to do this as a fall back in case things change.
yes the ones above have all been marked, mainly merits and distinctions with one pass as i sent the wrong sheet in (idiot)

thank you for your reply, just a question,the 290000 is Mn m ^-2 ? and not the Gn ,still i got the same though... P=(290000/166.666666667 - 0.3 x 83.3333333333)x 0.00004 , P= (290000/13863.8888889)x 0.00004, P = 0.0008367398 (i divide the 1/ 0.006 to get the 166... and the 1/2 x 0.006 to get the 83...what am i doing wrong?this is my thrid one i finished analytical methods and Engineering science and after this one i will take the Applications Of Pneumatics And Hydraulics,Engineering Thermodynamics,Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer And Combustion
