6. A plate with width of 400mm and thickness of 12mm is to be connected to...
A spherical pressure vessel is constructed by bolting two hemispheres together along rigid flanges as shown in the sketch. The sphere has an internal diameter of 1.5 m and the plate thickness is 5 mm. Allowable tensile stresses are 45 MPa in the shell and 80 MPa in the bolts. 1. Calculate the allowable gauge pressure. 2. Determine the number of bolts required if the bolt diameter is 25 mm (Note: bolt root diameter = 0.84 × nominal bolt diameter) A thin...
A W410 × 60 steel beam (see Appendix B) is simply supported at its ends and carries a concentrated load of P = 300 kN at the center of a 6.0-m span. The W410 × 60 shape will be strengthened by adding two cover plates of width b = 250 mm and thickness t = 16 mm to its flanges, as shown. Each cover plate is attached to its flange by pairs of bolts spaced at intervals of s =...
