STRESS IN THE SHELL AT MID- SPANThe stress at the mid span is f 3 , which is either tensile or compressive dependingon the position of the fiber. The resultant tensile stresses ( including the axialstress due to internal pressure ) should not exceed the permissible stress, and theresultant compressive stress should not exceed the permissible compressive stressf 3 = M 2 /(πR 2 t )=1.80 x 10 6 N/m 2Axial Stress in Shell due to internal pressuref p = (P x D i )/ (4 t)= 1.829 x 10 6 N/m 2All combined stresses ( f p + f 1 ) , ( f p + f 2 ) , and ( f p + f 3 ) are well withinallowable limits.
