A tank with an inside diameter of 345 mm, a length of 740 mm, and a wall thickness of 4.0 mm was designed to withstand a pressure of 660 kPa. If the outside of the tank has corroded such that the thickness is now 88% of the original value, what should the pressure now be limited to?

A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 30 in., d = 27.5 in., and L = 16 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load of 2.1375 kips/ft including its own self weight plus a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 1.0 kips/ft. The concrete is normal-weight concrete. The beam is reinforced with 2 No. 8 bars. The concrete strength is 4,900 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. Determine the maximum applied bending moment due to the combined service loads (dead plus live), Ma.

The spherical face shield of an astronaut’s helmet is made from polycarbonate with a yield strength of 103 MPa. The shield has an outside diameter of 365 mm and a thickness of 4.9 mm. If the shield is successfully pressure tested to 845 kPa on Earth, determine the factor of safety with respect to yielding.

The pressure hull of a space station module has an inside diameter of 4.6 m, a length of 5.2 m, and a wall thickness of 2.7 mm. It is made from an aluminum alloy with a yield strength of 271 MPa. If the hull is successfully pressure tested to 170 kPa on Earth, determine the factor of safety with respect to yielding.
