Question

A rubber ball is inflated to a pressure of 60KPa. At that pressure, the diameter of the ball is 230mm and the wall thickness is 1.2mm. The rubber has a modulus of elasticity of E = 3.5MPa and Poisson’s ratio of 0.45. (a)Compute the maximum tensile stress. (b)If the allowable tensile stress of the rubber ball wall is 2.5MPa, compute the internal pressure the rubber ball could be inflated.
