How to Calculate and Solve for Vessel Pressure without Yielding | Fracture

Last Updated on December 15, 2022

The image of vessel pressure without yielding is represented below.

To compute for vessel pressure without yielding, four essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Fracture Toughness (KIC), Applied Load Constant (Y), Radius (r) and Critical Wall Stress (σy).

The formula for calculating vessel pressure without yeilding:

P = 2/y²πr(KIC²/σy)

Where:

Y = Applied Load Constant
r = Radius
KIC = Fracture Toughness
σy = Critical Wall Stress

Given an example;
Find the vessel pressure without yielding when the applied load constant is 9, the radius is 3, the fracture toughness is 4 and the critical wall stress is 2.

This implies that;

Y = Applied Load Constant = 9
r = Radius = 3
KIC = Fracture Toughness = 4
σy = Critical Wall Stress = 2

P = 2/y²πr(KIC²/σy)
P = 2/(9)²π(3)((4)²/(2))
P = 2/(81)π(3)((16)/(2))
P = 2/(763.407)(8)
P = (0.0026)(8)
P = 0.0209

Therefore, the vessel pressure without yeilding is 0.0209 atm.
