For the compressor flap valve shown in Figure P11–15, determine the maximum operating pressure such that the material yield stress is not exceeded with a factor of safety of two. The valve is made of hardened 1020 steel with a modulus of elasticity of 30 million psi and a yield strength of 62,000 psi. The valve thickness is a uniform 0.018 in. The valve clip ears support the valve at opposite diameters. The pressure load is applied uniformly around the annular region.
