    ASSIGNMENT 2
    Due date: Thursday 16th June 2022
    Note: This should be your work and note a collaborative effort with others.

    (a) Consider a cylindrical pressure vessel of 300 mm inner diameter under an internal
    pressure of 2 MPa. Following data are given:
    Ply sequence: [90°/30°/−30°/90°]
    Material data: E1 = 140 GPa, E2 = 8 GPa, ν12 = 0.2, and G12 = 4 GPa
    Determine the local stresses in each ply.
    Hint: Consider force equilibrium to find Nxx and Nyy. Nxy = Mxx = Myy = Mxy = 0.
    (Take x-direction along the axis of the pressure vessel and y-direction along the
    circumference.)
    (b) Consider the pressure vessel in (a) above. Apply maximum stress criterion and
    check whether the pressure vessel is safe. Increase the pressure from zero till LPF
    and study the failure behavior. Draw plots to show variations of local stresses in
    each ply with respect to pressure. Indicate clearly events such as matrix cracking,
    FPF, and LPF. Comment on load sharing by the plies. The following strength data
    are given:

    ( σ 11T )ult =1600 MPa ( σ 11C )ult =1000 MPa ( σ 22T )ult =50 MPa

    ( σ 22C )ult =2 00 MPa ( τ 12 )ult =40 MPa
