A long cylindrical shell is constructed of carbon steel with a yield stress of 38,000 psi and a radius of 36 in. If the stiffeners are spaced at a 4 ft interval, calculate the required shell thickness and the size of stiffening rings for an external pressure of 10 psi at 100 °F.

Let

t = 0.1875 in., \frac{L}{D_{ o }} = 0.67, \frac{D_{ o }}{t} = 384.

From Figure 8.10,

A = 0.00028.

From Figure 8.11,

B = 4000 psi.

Hence,

P=\frac{4}{3}\left(\frac{4000}{384}\right)=10.4 \text { psi. }

Use a shell thickness of 3/16 in., and try a 3 \times 3 \times \frac{3}{16} angle stiffening ring:

A_{ s }=1.09 in ^{2}      and     I=0.9622 \text { in. }{ }^{4} ,

B=\frac{3}{4} \frac{(10)(72)}{0.1875+1.09 / 48}=2570 \text { psi }

From Figure 8.11, A=0.00018, so

I=\frac{72^{2} \times 48(0.1875+1.09 / 48)(0.00018)}{14}

= 0.67 \text { in. } ^{4}    acceptable
