A long cylindrical pressure vessel with closed ends is to be made by rolling a strip of plastic
of thickness d and width w into a helix and making a continuously fused joint, as illustrated. It
is desired to subject the fused joint to a tensile stress only 80 percent of the maximum in the
parent plastic. What is the minimum tilt of strip of plastic?

A cylindrical pressure vessel with an inside diameter 480 mm is constructed by spirally
wrapping a 8 mm thick steel plate and butt-welding the mating edges of the plate. The butt-
welded seams form an angle of 50° with a transverse plane through the cylinder. Determine
the largest gage pressure that can be used inside the vessel if the allowable normal stress
perpendicular to the weld is 100 MPa and the allowable shear stress parallel to the weld is 25
MPa.

Normal and shear stress on any oblique plane whose
normal has the direction cosines l, m, n with the X, Y, Z axes
respectively.
S – total stress 𝑆2 = 𝜎2 + 𝜏2
𝑆 2 = 𝑆𝑥2 + 𝑆𝑦2 + 𝑆𝑧2
Taking the summation of the
forces in the X, Y and Z directions,
we get the orthogonal 𝜏𝑥𝑦 = 𝜏𝑦𝑥
components of the total tress: 𝜏𝑦𝑧 = 𝜏𝑧𝑦
𝜏𝑥𝑧 = 𝜏𝑧𝑥
Normal stress on the oblique
plane:
Magnitude of shear stress on the oblique plane: 𝜏 2 = 𝑆 2 − 𝜎 2
Magnitude of shear stress on the oblique plane: 𝜏2 = 𝑆2 − 𝜎2
Magnitude and direction of two components lying in the oblique plane : resolve the
stress components Sx , Sy , Sz into the Y’ and Z’ directions lying in the oblique plane.

The principal shear stresses occur for the
following combinations of direction
