Chapter 8 Combined Loading

This document discusses stress analysis of thin-walled pressure vessels under various loading conditions including axial, torsional, bending, shear, and combined loadings. It provides equations to calculate hoop and longitudinal stresses in cylindrical vessels, and notes that hoop stress is always twice the longitudinal stress. Methods are presented for determining stresses from combined loadings using superposition, and examples are provided to illustrate calculating stress states at various points under different loading conditions.

Please review the stress analysis developed in the previous chapters: *

Axial loading (chapter 1 & 4) Torsion (chapter 5) Bending (chapter 6 and 12) Shear (chapter 1 and 7)
Multiple internal loadings occur simultaneously: combined loadings *
Thin-Walled Pressure Vessels
The ratio of an inner-radius () to wall thickness () is
large than 10. When , the stress predicted is
less than the actual maximum stress
1.
The stress can be treated as uniformly distributed within
the wall thickness
2.
Gauge pressure : pressure above atmospheric pressure 3.
Cylindrical Vessels
For stress in the hoop (circumferential) direction: For stress in the longitudinal (axial) direction


The hoop stress is always twice as large as the longitudinal stress!

Example 8-1 (ex 8.1)
A cylindrical pressure vessel has an inner diameter of and a thickness of

. Determine the
maximum internal pressure it can sustain so that either its circumferential nor its longitudinal stress
component exceeds . Under the same condition, what is the maximum internal pressure that a
similar size spherical vessel can sustain?

Use the principle of superposition (sec. 4.3) provided a linear relationship exists between the stress and the loads
Obtain the resultant internal normal and shear force components and bending and torsional moment
components (P, V, M, T)

The force component should act through the centroid of the cross-section the moment components
should be computed about centroidal axes

Internal loading
Procedure for analysis
Determine the stress component associated with each internal loading
Stress components
Once the normal and shear stress components for each loading are calculated, use the principle of
superposition to determine the resultant normal and shear stress components
