Homework Statement
I have a simple cylindrical pressure vessel with thickness 100m and inner radius 254mm,.the cylnder has flat head closed ends but these are thickness 30mm. I need to calculate the pressure that would cause the vessel to collapse given material properties E=207Gpa, poissons 0.3, yield stress = 207Mpa
Homework Equations
I know that there are equations out there for hoop and radial stress which are quite simple but can I just assume I should use only for thickness 30mm
The Attempt at a Solution
I have used the simple equations for hoop and radial stress however I'm not sure if this is correct or not [/B]
