So, minimum moment of inertia for stiffening:

I 1 min = ( R1 x L4 ) / ( 192 x E x t )
= 22.2 in4
4
I 2 min = ( R2 x L ) / ( 192 x E x t )
= 51.89 in4

Moment inertia of stiffenings Angle Beam (Roark's and Young Formulas)

h(mm) = 270

So, I > Imin actual thickness of beam is adequated

. Bottom Plate Thickness when supported by beams

(Pressure vessel hand book and Roark's formula)
Height of Thank H (mm) = 1500 = 150 cm
Bottom Plat thickness tb (mm) = 10.00 = 1.00 cm = 0.39 in
Spacing of beam support Lb (cm) = 1.254tb√(S/0.036GH)
= 47.15 in = 1197.73 mm

G. Thickness of Roof Plate (Roark's and Young Formula)

Modulus Elasticity E ( psi ) = 30000000 = 21090.00 kg/mm²
Nozzle Weight is atthached on the roof Wn (kg) = 150 kg = 330.69 lb
Weight human on the roof Wh (kg) = 100 kg = 220.46
Wide of Roof Plate W ( mm ) = 2000.00 = 78.74 in
Length of Roof Plate L ( mm ) = 6000.00 = 236.22 in
Thickness of Roof Plate tr (mm) = 8 = 0.314961 in
-6
Density of carbon ρ(kg/mm³) = 7.93x10
Weight of Roof Plate Wr (kg) = WxLxtrxρ = 761.28
= 1678.318 lb
Total weight of Roof Thickness Wn+Wr+Wh (kg) = 1011.28 = 2229.47 lb
Total load of roof plate q (kg/mm²) = 8.42733E-05
Allowable stress of roof plate = β2xqxW²/tr²
L/W = 3.00 β2 = 0.25 = 1.32 = 131.677 Kg/cm²
(β2 shall refer to Table 11.4; Roark's and Young Formula :page 508)
i. Deflection at center of Length L

Deflection max. Ymax = αqW4 / E.tr³

L/W = 3.00 α = 0.0284

(α shall refer to Table 11.4; Roark's and Young Formula :page 508)
Ymax = 3.55 mm
Allowable Deflection refers to Pressure Vessel Hand Book is 6 in per 1000 ft. So,
Yall = Lx6in/1000ft = 0.1181 in = 3.00 mm
Since, Ymax>Yall, Need more large Thickness
For Large Thickness of Roof Plate, it shall be used stiffener
3
tr.min ( mm ) = √(αqW4 / E)
tr.min ( mm ) = 12
So, it is used Stiffener thickness min. ts.min (mm) = tr.min-tr
ts.min (mm) = 4

ii. Deflection at center of Length L/2 (it shall be calculated if W<L/2)

L/2 (mm) = 3000.00 = 9.84 ft q = q/2 = 0.000042 Kg/mm²
(L/2)/W = 1.50 α = 0.02
Ymax Deflection (mm) = 1.41
Yall = (L/2)x6in/1000ft = 0.0591 in = 1.50 mm
Since, Ymax < Yall Thickness Ok
For Large Thickness of Roof Plate, it shall be used stiffener
3
tr.min ( mm ) = √(αqW4 / E)
tr.min ( mm ) = 9.68
So, it is used Stiffener thickness min. ts.min (mm) = tr.min-tr
ts.min (mm) = 2

iii. Deflection at center of Length L/6 and W (it shall be calculated if W>L/4)

L/6 (mm) = 1000.00 = 3.28 ft q = q/6

q = 0.00001 Kg/mm²
W/(L/6) = 2 α = 0.0277
Deflection max. Ymax (mm) = αq(L/4) 4 / E.tr³
= 0.04
Yall = Wx6in/1000ft = 0.0394 in = 1.00 mm
Since, Ymax < Yall Thickness Ok
For Large Thickness of Roof Plate, it shall be used stiffener
tr.min ( mm ) = 3
√(αqW4 / E)
tr.min ( mm ) = 6.71
So, it is used Stiffener thickness min. ts.min (mm) = tr.min-tr
ts.min (mm) = -1.29

(α shall refer to Table 11.4; Roark's and Young Formula :page 508)
