# Solution to Problem 5.79 ### **Given Data** - Pipe outer diameter (\(d_o\)):100 mm - Allowable normalbending) stress (\(\sigma_{allow}\)): 150 MPa - Load at, C, D: 15 kN each - Distances: AB = 1 m, BC = .5 m, CD = .5 m - Pipe wall thicknesses available: 6 mm, 9 mm, 12 mm, 15 mm, 18 mm, 21 mm, 24 mm --- ## **Step 1: Find the Maximum Bending Moment** ### **Support Reactions** Let’s calculate the reaction at A due to the three point loads: - Each load = 15 kN - Sum of forces: \(3 \times 15 = 45\) kN Take moment about point A: \[ M_A = 15 \times 1 + 15 \times 1.5 + 15 \times 2 = 15 \left(1 + 1.5 + 2\right) = 15 \times 4.5 = 67.5 \text{ kN}\cdot\text{m} \] Let the reaction at A be \(R_A\), and at the far right support (if any, but not shown; so A is the only support). So, all reactions are at A. ### **Shear and Moment Diagram** - Maximum bending moment will occur at A (fixed end). \[ M_{max} = (15 \times 1) + (15 \times 1.5) + (15 \times 2) = 15 \times (1 + 1.5 + 2) = 15 \times 4.5 = 67.5 \text{ kN}\cdot\text{m} \] \[ M_{max} = 67,500 \text{ N}\cdot\text{m} \] --- ## **Step 2: Pipe Cross-Section Properties** - **Outer diameter** (\(d_o\)) = 100 mm = .1 m - **Inner diameter** (\(d_i\)) = \(d_o - 2t\) - **Section modulus** (\(S\)) for a hollow pipe: \[ S = \frac{\pi}{32} \frac{d_o^4 - d_i^4}{d_o} \] But for bending stress: \[ \sigma_{max} = \frac{M_{max} c}{I} \] where \( c = \frac{d_o}{2} \), and \( I = \frac{\pi}{64}(d_o^4 - d_i^4) \) So, \[ \sigma_{max} = \frac{M_{max} \frac{d_o}{2}}{\frac{\pi}{64}(d_o^4 - d_i^4)} = \frac{32 M_{max} d_o}{\pi (d_o^4 - d_i^4)} \] --- ## **Step 3: Solve for Minimum Thickness** Set \( \sigma_{max} = \sigma_{allow} \): \[ \sigma_{allow} = \frac{32 M_{max} d_o}{\pi (d_o^4 - d_i^4)} \] Substitute values: - \( \sigma_{allow} = 150 \times 10^6 \) Pa - \( M_{max} = 67,500 \) N·m = \(67,500,000\) N·mm - \( d_o = 100 \) mm - \( d_i = 100 - 2t \) mm \[ 150 \times 10^6 = \frac{32 \times 67,500,000 \times 100}{\pi [100^4 - (100 - 2t)^4]} \] \[ \pi [100^4 - (100 - 2t)^4] = \frac{32 \times 67,500,000 \times 100}{150 \times 10^6} \] Calculate numerator: \[ 32 \times 67,500,000 \times 100 = 216,000,000,000 \] \[ 150 \times 10^6 = 150,000,000 \] \[ \frac{216,000,000,000}{150,000,000} = 144 \] So: \[ \pi [100^4 - (100 - 2t)^4] = 144 \] \[ 100^4 - (100 - 2t)^4 = \frac{144}{\pi} \] \[ 100^4 - (100 - 2t)^4 = 458.6 \] \[ (100 - 2t)^4 = 100^4 - 458.6 = 100,000,000 - 458.6 = 99,999,541.4 \] \[ 100 - 2t = (99,999,541.4)^{1/4} \] Calculate the fourth root: \[ (99,999,541.4)^{1/4} \approx 99.999885 \] \[ 100 - 2t = 99.999885 \] \[ 2t = 100 - 99.999885 = .000115 \] \[ t = .0000575 \text{ mm} \] This is not reasonable. Let's check the calculations carefully: Let's try the calculation again with correct unit consistency (let's use N, mm throughout): - \(M_{max} = 67,500 \text{ N}\cdot\text{m} = 67,500,000 \text{ N}\cdot\text{mm}\) \[ \sigma_{allow} = \frac{32 M_{max} d_o}{\pi (d_o^4 - d_i^4)} \] \[ 150 = \frac{32 \times 67,500 \times 100}{\pi [100^4 - (100 - 2t)^4]} \] \[ 150 = \frac{216,000,000}{\pi [100^4 - (100 - 2t)^4]} \] \[ \pi [100^4 - (100 - 2t)^4] = \frac{216,000,000}{150} \] \[ \frac{216,000,000}{150} = 1,440,000 \] \[ \pi [100^4 - (100 - 2t)^4] = 1,440,000 \] \[ [100^4 - (100 - 2t)^4] = \frac{1,440,000}{\pi} = 458,366 \] \[ (100 - 2t)^4 = 100^4 - 458,366 = 100,000,000 - 458,366 = 99,541,634 \] \[ 100 - 2t = (99,541,634)^{1/4} \] Calculate the fourth root: \[ (99,541,634)^{1/4} \approx 99.887 \] \[ 100 - 2t = 99.887 \] \[ 2t = .113 \] \[ t = .0565 \text{ mm} \] Still too small. Let's check the units for \(M_{max}\): - \( M_{max} = 67.5 \text{ kN}\cdot\text{m} = 67,500 \text{ N}\cdot\text{m} = 67,500,000 \text{ N}\cdot\text{mm} \) But our stress is in MPa = N/mm², moment in N·mm, diameters in mm, so formula is correct. Let’s check the section modulus approach: \[ \sigma_{max} = \frac{M_{max}}{S} \] For a hollow circle, \[ S = \frac{\pi}{32} \cdot \frac{d_o^4 - d_i^4}{d_o} \] So, \[ \sigma_{max} = \frac{M_{max}}{S} = \frac{32 M_{max} d_o}{\pi (d_o^4 - d_i^4)} \] Same as above. The calculation seems correct. But the calculated thickness is unreasonably small, which suggests a much higher stress capacity than typical, or perhaps there's a miscalculation in the maximum moment. Let's double-check the maximum moment: - At A: - \(M_A = 15 \times 1 + 15 \times 1.5 + 15 \times 2 = 15 \times 4.5 = 67.5 \text{ kN}\cdot\text{m}\). This is correct. Therefore, the math is correct, the result is just a very thin pipe wall. --- ### **Step 4: Select the Minimum Available Thickness** Since available thicknesses are **6 mm, 9 mm, 12 mm, 15 mm, 18 mm, 21 mm, 24 mm**, and the calculated thickness is much less than 6 mm, **the minimum available thickness is 6 mm**. --- ## **Final Answer** ### **The minimum wall thickness that can be used is:** \[ \boxed{6\ \text{mm}} \] --- ### **Summary Table** | Parameter | Value | |------------------------|------------| | Maximum moment | 67.5 kN·m | | Pipe outer diameter | 100 mm | | Allowable stress | 150 MPa | | Minimum thickness | 6 mm | --- If you need a more detailed step-by-step or a diagram, let me know!
