Hydraulic Cylinder Pressure Calculations

Chapter 2 focuses on hydraulic cylinders and presents several problems related to their design and analysis. It includes calculations for pressure exerted by fluids, wall thickness for hydraulic presses, and stresses in various cylindrical assemblies under internal pressure. The chapter emphasizes the application of material properties and equations such as Lame's equations to determine stresses and strains in hydraulic systems.

1) A seamless spherical shell, 900 mm in diameter and 10 mm thick is being filled
with a fluid under pressure until its volume increases by 150 × 103 mm 3.
Calculate the pressure exerted by the fluid on the shell, taking modulus of
elasticity for the material of the shell as 200 kN/mm2 and Poisson’s ratio as 0.3.
2) A hydraulic press has a maximum capacity of 1000 kN. The piston diameter is
250 mm. Calculate the wall thickness if the cylinder is made of material for
which the permissible strength may be taken as 80 MPa. This material may be
assumed as a brittle material.
3) A closed-ended cast iron cylinder of 200 mm inside diameter is to carry an
internal pressure of 10 N/mm2 with a permissible stress of 18 MPa. Determine
the wall thickness by means of Lame’s and the maximum shear stress
equations. What result would you use? Give reason for your conclusion.
4) A steel tube 240 mm external diameter is shrunk on another steel tube of 80 mm
internal diameter. After shrinking, the diameter at the junction is 160 mm.
Before shrinking, the difference of diameters at the junction was 0.08 mm. If the
Young’s modulus for steel is 200 GPa, find: 1. tangential stress at the outer
surface of the inner tube; 2. tangential stress at the inner surface of the outer
tube; and 3. radial stress at the junction.
5) A shrink fit assembly, formed by shrinking one tube over another, is subjected
to an internal pressure of 60 N/mm2. Before the fluid is admitted, the internal
and the external diameters of the assembly are 120 mm and 200 mm and the

diameter at the junction is 160 mm. If after shrinking on, the contact pressure
at the junction is 8 N/mm2, determine using Lame’s equations, the stresses at
the inner, mating and outer surfaces of the assembly after the fluid has been
admitted.
6) A cylindrical pressure vessel is constructed from a long, narrow steel plate by
wrapping the plate around a mandrel and then welding along the edges of the
plate to make a helical joint. The helical weld makes an angle α = 55° with the
longitudinal axis. The vessel has inner radius r = 1.8 m and wall thickness t =
20 mm. The material is steel with modulus E = 200 GPa and Poisson’s ratio υ
= 0.30. The internal pressure p is 800 kPa. Calculate the following quantities
for the cylindrical part of the vessel: (a) the circumferential and longitudinal
stresses σ1 and σ2, respectively; (b) the maximum in-plane and out-of-plane
shear stresses; (c) the circumferential and longitudinal strains ε 1 and ε2,
respectively; and (d) the normal stress σ w and shear stress τw acting
perpendicular and parallel, respectively, to the welded seam.
