Tresca Limit Pressure for ASME SEC VIII Div-2 cylindrical equation .

According to the theory of limit analysis, Max [{s1- s2}, {s2-s3}, {s3-s1}] = SL (1) Where s1, s2, s3 are the principal stresses { } denotes absolute value. SL is the uniaxial limit stress. For cylindrical shell: hoop, radial & axial stress are the principle stress. Therefore, maximum principle difference equal to hoop radial. Therefore, [ r] = SL Equilibrium equation of an infinitesimal element in polar coordinates, dr / dr = ( r) / r However r = SL Therefore, dr / dr = SL/r Therefore, dr = SL dr /r Integret both side r = SL In r + C now, put the boundary condition , that r = -p @ in side shell & r = 0 for outside the shell. -P = SL In R +C. (A) & 0 = SL In (R+T) +C .(B) Subtract Eq. A from Eq. B Therefore, P/SL = In (1+ t/R) Now, SL = S * E, as per code consideration Therefore, P/SE = In (1+t/R) Therefore, exp (P/SE) = 1 +t/R Therefore, t/R = exp(P/SE)-1 Therefore, t = R {exp (P/SE-1) } Thanking you & with regards Vishal Tailor, PZO, vishal_tailor03@yahoo.co.in, Gujarat, India
