8. Combined Loadings
8.1 THIN-WALLED PRESSURE VESSELS
• Cylindrical or spherical vessels are commonly used in industry to serve as boilers or tanks
• When under pressure, the material which they are made of, is subjected to a loading from all directions
• However, we can simplify the analysis provided it has a thin wall
• “Thin wall” refers to a vessel having an inner-radius-thickness ratio of 10 or more (r/t ≥ 10)
• When r/t = 10, results of a thin-wall analysis will predict a stress approximately 4% less than actual maximum stress in the vessel
42005 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd
8. Combined Loadings
8.1 THIN-WALLED PRESSURE VESSELS
• Assumption taken before analysis is that the thickness of the pressure vessel is uniform or constant throughout
• The pressure in the vessel is understood to be the gauge pressure, since it measures the pressure above atmospheric pressure, which is assumed to exist both inside and outside the vessel’s wall
52005 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd
8. Combined Loadings
8.1 THIN-WALLED PRESSURE VESSELS
Cylindrical vessels• A gauge pressure p is
developed within the vessel by a contained gas or fluid, and assumed to have negligible weight
• Due to uniformity of loading, an element of the vessel is subjected to normal stresses 1 in the circumferential or hoop direction and 2 in the longitudinal or axial direction
62005 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd
8. Combined Loadings
8.1 THIN-WALLED PRESSURE VESSELS
Cylindrical vessels• We use the method of sections and apply the
equations of force equilibrium to get the magnitudes of the stress components
• For equilibrium in the x direction, we require
pr
t1 = Equation 8-1

8. Combined Loadings
8.1 THIN-WALLED PRESSURE VESSELS
Cylindrical vessels
• As shown, 2 acts uniformly throughout the wall, and p acts on the section of gas or fluid. Thus for equilibrium in the y direction, we require
pr
2t2 = Equation 8-2

8. Combined Loadings
8.1 THIN-WALLED PRESSURE VESSELS
Cylindrical vessels• For Eqns 8-1 and 8-2,
1, 2 = normal stress in the hoop and longitudinal directions, respectively. Each is assumed to be constant throughout the wall of the cylinder, and each subjects the material to tension
p = internal gauge pressure developed by the contained gas or fluid
r = inner radius of the cylinder
t = thickness of the wall (r/t ≥ 10)
92005 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd
8. Combined Loadings
8.1 THIN-WALLED PRESSURE VESSELS
Cylindrical vessels• Comparing Eqns 8-1 and 8-2, note that the hoop
or circumferential stress is twice as large as the longitudinal or axial stress
• When engineers fabricate cylindrical pressure vessels from rolled-form plates, the longitudinal joints must be designed to carry twice as much stress as the circumferential joints

8.1 THIN-WALLED PRESSURE VESSELS
Spherical vessels• The analysis for a spherical pressure vessel can
be done in a similar manner• Like the cylinder, equilibrium in the y direction
requires
pr
2t2 = Equation 8-3

8. Combined Loadings
8.1 THIN-WALLED PRESSURE VESSELS
Spherical vessels• Note that Eqn 8-3 is similar to Eqn 8-2. Thus, this
stress is the same regardless of the orientation of the hemispheric free-body diagram
• An element of material taken from either a cylindrical or spherical pressure vessel is subjected to biaxial stress; normal stress existing in two directions

8.1 THIN-WALLED PRESSURE VESSELS
Spherical vessels
• The material is also subjected to radial stress, 3. It has a value equal to pressure p at the interior wall and decreases to zero at exterior surface of the vessel
• However, we ignore the radial stress component for thin-walled vessels, since the limiting assumption of r/t = 10, results in 3 and 2 being 5 and 10 times higher than maximum radial stress (3)max = p

EXAMPLE 8.1
Cylindrical pressure vessel has an inner diameter of 1.2 m and thickness of 12 mm. Determine the maximum internal pressure it can sustain so that neither its circumferential nor its longitudinal stress component exceeds 140 MPa. Under the same conditions, what is the maximum internal pressure that a similar-size spherical vessel
142005 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd

EXAMPLE 8.1 (SOLN)
Cylindrical pressure vessel
Maximum stress occurs in the circumferential direction. From Eqn 8-1, we have
1 = ;pr
t 140 N/mm2 =p(600 mm)
12 mm
p = 2.8 N/mm2
Note that when pressure is reached, from Eqn 8-2, stress in the longitudinal direction will be 2 = 0.5(140 MPa) = 70 MPa.
152005 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd
8. Combined Loadings
EXAMPLE 8.1 (SOLN)
Cylindrical pressure vessel
Furthermore, maximum stress in the radial direction occurs on the material at the inner wall of the vessel and is (3)max = p = 2.8 MPa. This value is 50 times smaller than the circumferential stress (140 MPa), and as stated earlier, its effects will be neglected.

EXAMPLE 8.1 (SOLN)
Spherical pressure vessel
Here, the maximum stress occurs in any two perpendicular directions on an element of the vessel. From Eqn 8-3, we have
2 = ;pr
2t 140 N/mm2 =p(600 mm)
2(12 mm)
p = 5.6 N/mm2
Although it is more difficult to fabricate, the spherical pressure vessel will carry twice as much internal pressure as a cylindrical vessel.

8.2 STATE OF STRESS CAUSED BY COMBINED LOADINGS
• In previous chapters, we developed methods for determining the stress distributions in a member subjected to internal axial forces, shear forces, bending moments, or torsional moments.
• Often, the x-section of a member is subjected to several of these type of loadings simultaneously
• We can use the method of superposition to determine the resultant stress distribution caused by the loads

8.2 STATE OF STRESS CAUSED BY COMBINED LOADINGS
Application of the method of superposition
1. The stress distribution due to each loading is determined
2. These distributions are superimposed to determine the resultant stress distribution
Conditions to satisfy• A linear relationship exists between the stress and
the loads• Geometry of the member should not undergo
significant change when the loads are applied

Procedure for analysis
Internal loading• Section the member perpendicular to its axis at
the pt where the stress is to be determined• Obtain the resultant internal normal and shear
force components and the bending and torsional moment components
• Force components should act through the centroid of the x-section, and moment components should be computed about centroidal axes, which represent the principal axes of inertia for x-section

Procedure for analysis
Bending moment• For straight members, the internal bending
moment is developed by a normal-stress distribution that varies linearly from zero at the neutral axis to a maximum at outer boundary of the member.

moment is developed by a shear-stress distribution that varies linearly from the central axis of shaft to a maximum at shaft’s outer boundary

8.2 STATE OF STRESS CAUSED BY COMBINED LOADINGS
Procedure for analysis
Thin-walled pressure vessels• If vessel is a thin-walled cylinder, internal
pressure p will cause a biaxial state of stress in the material such that the hoop or circumferential stress component is 1 = pr/t and longitudinal 2 = pr/2t.
• If vessel is a thin-walled sphere, then biaxial state of stress is represented by two equivalent components, each having a magnitude of 2 = pr/2t

EXAMPLE 8.3 (SOLN)
Internal loadingsThe stress in the circumferential direction is developed by the water pressure at level A. To obtain this pressure, we use Pascal’s law, which states that the pressure at a pt located at depth z in the water is p = w z. Consequently, pressure on tank at level A is
p = w z = (10 kN/m3)(1 m) = 10 kN/m2

Note that Eqn 8-2, 2 = pr/2t does not apply here, since tank is open at the top and therefore, as stated previously, the water cannot develop a loading on the walls in the longitudinal direction.Pt A is therefore subjected to the biaxial stress as shown.

In order to better “visualize” the stress distributions due to each of these loadings, we will consider the equal but opposite resultants acting on AC.

CHAPTER REVIEW
• A pressure vessel is considered to have a thin wall provided r/t ≥ 10. For a thin-walled cylindrical vessel, the circumferential or hoop stress is 1 = pr/t. This stress is twice as great as the longitudinal stress, 2 = pr/2t. Thin-walled spherical vessels have the same stress within their walls in all directions so that 1 = 2 = pr/2t
• Superposition of stress components can be used to determine the normal and shear stress at a pt in a member subjected to a combined loading.

CHAPTER REVIEW
• To solve, it is first necessary to determine the resultant axial and shear force and the resultant torsional and bending moment at the section where the pt is located.
• Then the stress components are determined due to each of these loadings. The normal and shear-stress resultants are then determined by algebraically adding the normal and shear-stress components.
