Question

A thin-walled cylindrical tank with closed ends, made of homogeneous and
isotropic material, is pressurized internally. If the hoop (circumferential)
strain developed in the material is thrice the value of the axial strain then
the Poisson’s ratio of the material is __________ (correct up to one decimal
place).​

Answer 1

place).

Answer 2

Answer:

A thin-walled pressure vessel is one in which the skin of the vessel has a thickness that is much smaller than the overall size of the vessel, and the vessel is subjected to internal pressure that is much greater than the exterior air pressure.05-Oct-2016
