Introduction
Cylindrical or spherical vessels commonly used in industry to serve asboilers or tanks.
When under pressure, the material of vessel is subjected to a loadingfrom all direction.
The vessel can be analyzed as thin wall or thick wall .

Introduction
Thin wall refers to a vessel having an inner-radius-to-wall-thickness ratio of 10 or
more . 10

Few example of thin walled applications:Pressure pipes
Aircraft fuselagesCompressed gas container
If the vessel wall is thin, the stress distribution throughout itsthickness will not vary significantly or can be assumed uniform orconstant .
The pressure in the vessel is understood to be the gauge pressure orthe pressure above atmospheric pressure .

Cylindrical Vessels For a closed cylinder with an internal pressure, there can be three direct
stresses acting upon it:i) Longitudinal stressii) Hoop stressiii) Radial stress
Longitudinal stress (x-axis) : the cylinder resistance to stretching along
the axis. Hoop stress : the cylinder resistance to grow in diameter Radial stress : pressure compressing the wall cylinder

Cylindrical Vessels
Longitudinal stress and hoop stress are directly proportional to thepressure and the ratio of diameter to thickness.
However the radial stress is related to pressure alone.
Because of this relationship to the geometry, the longitudinal stress and hoop stress are considered far greater than radial stress .
The radial stress in a thin cylinder is small enough and to be ignored in basic analysis.

Example:
The cylindrical portion of the compressedair tank shown is fabricated of 8 mm platewelded along a helix forming an angle =30 with the horizontal.
Knowing that, the allowable stress normalto weld is 75 MPa, determine the largestpressure can be applied in the tank.

Spherical Vessels
Consider a spherical vessel of innerradius r and wall thickness t ,containing a pressure p .
For reason of symmetry, the stress
exerted on the element must be equal.
