Calculate the circumfrential and longitudinal stresses in


A cylindrical steam boiler shell is of riveted construction. It is made from plates 18mm thick, and has a diameter of 1.8m.

Calculate the circumfrential and longitudinal stresses in the plates when the internal pressure is 800KN/m sq. If the ultimate tensile stress of the material used is 600 MN/m sq, and the efficiency of the longitudinal joint is 70 per cent, determine the factor of safety.
