A tank with an inside diameter of 355 mm, a length of 845 mm, and a wall thickness of 2.0 mm was designed to withstand a pressure of 755 kPa. If the outside of the tank has corroded such that the thickness is now 80% of the original value, what should the pressure now be limited to?

The pressure hull of a space station module has an inside diameter of 4.4 m, a length of 5.8 m, and a wall thickness of 2.7 mm. It is made from an aluminum alloy with a yield strength of 273 MPa. If the hull is successfully pressure tested to 190 kPa on Earth, determine the factor of safety with respect to yielding.

A driver accidentally bumped a fire hydrant creating a bending moment of 770 N·m in the pipe below. The pipe has an inside diameter of 175 mm and a wall thickness of 6 mm and is pressurized to 395 kPa. Determine the largest normal stress along the length of the pipe.

A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 16 in., h = 28 in., d = 25.5 in., and L = 23 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load of 2.266667 kips/ft including its own self weight plus a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 1.4 kips/ft. The beam is reinforced with five No. 6 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 10,000 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups. Using the effective moment of inertia, determine the immediate mid-span deflection of the beam due to the combined service loads (dead plus live).The effective moment of inertia Ie = 9,103.4 in.4.
