Question

A 6-in long bronze tube, with closed ends, is in 3 in. in diameter with a wall thickness of 0.10 in. With no internal pressure, the tube just fits between two rigid end walls. Calculate the longitudinal stress for an internal pressure of 600 psi with v= 0.33 and E= 12x10⁶ psi.

Answer 1

The longitudinal stress for an internal pressure of 600 psi in the bronze tube is 9000 psi.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the longitudinal stress for an internal pressure, we can use the formula:

Longitudinal Stress (σ) = (Pressure x Diameter) / (2 x Wall Thickness)

Substituting the given values:

Longitudinal Stress (σ) = (600 psi x 3 in.) / (2 x 0.10 in.) = 9000 psi

Therefore, the longitudinal stress for an internal pressure of 600 psi is 9000 psi.
