A pressurized tank filled with liquid propane is suspended from a wall and supported by a cable, as shown in the figure below. The pressurized tank is made out of 6061-T62 aluminium plate, and the cable is 1/4" galvanized steel aircraft cable. The pressurized tank is subjected to a torsional and bending load as shown while also being exposed to an increase in temperature. The dimensions of the structure are: Tank inner radius, r_i = 10 in Tank thickness, t = 0.25 in Length, L = 60 in Height to cable attachment at wall, h = 15 in Distance, d = 15 in The material properties of the structure are: Load Limit of steel cable, P_Call = 1220 lb Aluminum Material Properties (Ref Table 3.6.2.0(b20, MIL-HDBK-5J, 31 January 2003) Modulus of Elasticity, E_A = 9.9x 10^3 ksi Tensile Yield Stress Allowable, sigma_A Tall = 36 ksi Compressive Yield Stress Allowable, sigma_Acall = 35 ksi Shear Yield Stress Allowable, tau_Aall = 27 ksi Thermal Coefficient of Expansion, alpha = 12.8 (in/in) degF The loading on the structure are: Density of propane, p = 31.12 lbm/ft^3 Pressure, p = 10 psi Applied load, P = 100 lbf Change in temperature, Delta T = 70 deg F Determine the following: 1) Maximum stress on the structure 2) Location of maximum stress 3) Factor of Safety with the applied load Applied load
