Chapter 1 – Problem 1.8

1.8 A +10 bar pressure wave traverses a longitudinally-restrained 1000 mm diameter pipeline made of 6 mm thickness mild steel plates (Young’s modulus = 205 GPa) forcing a temporary expansion of pipeline (see Figure 1.17). Compute the expanded diameter of the pipeline at the location of the pressure wave if the pipeline carries incompressible liquid.

[Answer: 1000.4065m]
