Introduction Thin Cylinder

This document summarizes an experiment to determine the strain distribution on the wall of a thin cylinder under different end conditions (open or closed) and pressures. Stresses acting on the cylinder wall include longitudinal stresses and hoop (circumferential) stresses. Data on strain, pressure, and material properties are collected using a thin cylinder apparatus and acquisition system. The experiment is conducted for both free and fixed end conditions, applying increasing internal pressure up to 35 bar and recording strain readings every 10 seconds.

Introduction

Thin cylinder is an experiment which is used to determine the strain on wall of a thin cylinder and to fnd
how the strain distributes. In order to make things clearer,there are two different end condition: “open”
and “closed”. The strains of open end just like a long pipe that liquid flows through. Another one can be
seen as an enclosed gas tank with inner pressure.

Stress is defined as the intensity of a force per unit area. A normal stress is a stress that act
perpendicular to the cross sectional area of a member. In a thin-walled cylinder, the normal stress has
two components. One component is the normal stress acting on a transverse section and is known as
longitudinal section and is known hoop stress or axial stress.

In this experiment, there are axial and longitudinal stresses on the surface of the material and because
of the thin-walled of cylinder, we can consider that these two stresses are though out the wall thickness
constantly. So, in this situation, we can connect it to computer and get data which determine Young’s
modulus, Poission’s ratio, v , and the strain Mohr’s circle of two different end condition .

Material , Method and Observation

The experimental procedure from lab manual we referred. Firstly the lab assistant demonstrated the
way to use TQR thin cylinder apparatus for thin cylinder test.

For the free end condition test, SS switched on data ecquisition system. NAA controlled he piston out
of the cylinder by turning the handle. After that, SS recorded the current pressure and then clicked
the start button and clicked overview button to record the initial strain reading of all the gauge every
10second. Then NAA used the pump handle to apply internal pressure to the cylinder until the pressure
gauge indicate 15 bar and then the initial strain readings are obtained for another 10 second. This
step is repeated until the pressure reached 35bar.

All step above are repeated for six end condition too. The data are observed and analyzed.
