Since this is a cylindrical pressure vessel, the shear stress xy must equal zero, and hence, the shear strain
xy must also equal zero. The strain transformation equation reduces to:

P14.18 A strain gage is mounted at an angle of =
20° with respect to the longitudinal axis of the
cylindrical pressure shown in Figure P14.17/18.
The pressure vessel is fabricated from aluminum [E
= 10,000 ksi; = 0.33], and it has an inside
diameter of 48 in. and a wall thickness of 0.50 in. If
the internal pressure in the cylinder is 350 psi,
determine:
(a) the expected strain gage reading (in ).
(b) the principal strains, the maximum shear strain,
and the absolute maximum shear strain on the outer
surface of the cylinder.

Solution
(a) Expected strain gage reading
A strain transformation equation [Eq. (13.3)]
n x cos2 y sin 2 xy sin cos
can be written for the normal strain in the direction of the strain gage:
n x cos2 (20) y sin 2 (20) xy sin(20)cos(20)
Since this is a cylindrical pressure vessel, the shear stress xy must equal zero, and hence, the shear strain
xy must also equal zero. The strain transformation equation reduces to:
n x cos2 (20) y sin 2 (20)
Substitute Eqs. (13.21) for x and y to obtain an expression in terms of x and y:

P14.20 The cylindrical pressure vessel shown in Figure
P14.20/21 has an inside diameter of 610 mm and a wall
thickness of 3 mm. The cylinder is made of an aluminum alloy
that has an elastic modulus of E = 70 GPa and a shear modulus
of G = 26.3 GPa. Two strain gages are mounted on the exterior
surface of the cylinder at right angles to each other; however,
the angle is not known. If the strains measured by the two
gages are a = 360 and b = 975 , what is the pressure in
the vessel? Notice that when two orthogonal strains are
measured, the angle is not needed to determine the normal
stresses.

Solution
Strain invariance: From strain invariance [Eq. (13.8)], we can state
a b x y
Let’s first focus on the right-hand side of this equation. From Eqs. (13.21), the sum of the strains in the
x and y directions can be expressed as

thickness of 12 mm. The cylinder is made of an aluminum
alloy that has an elastic modulus of E = 70 GPa and a shear
modulus of G = 26.3 GPa. Two strain gages are mounted on
the exterior surface of the cylinder at right angles to each
other. The angle is 25°. If the pressure in the vessel is 1.75
MPa, determine

(b) Expected strain gage readings in gages a and b
A strain transformation equation [Eq. (13.3)]
n x cos2 y sin 2 xy sin cos
can be written for the normal strain in the direction of strain gage a:
a x cos2 (25) y sin 2 (25) xy sin(25)cos(25)
Since this is a cylindrical pressure vessel, the shear stress xy must equal zero, and hence, the shear strain
xy must also equal zero. The strain transformation equation reduces to:
a x cos2 (25) y sin 2 (25)
The expected strain reading in gage a is thus:
a x cos2 (25) y sin 2 (25)
(158.626 με)cos 2 (25) (782.438 με)sin 2 (25) 270 με Ans.
Use a value of = 25° + 90° = 115° to obtain the strain reading expected in gage b:
