Solidworks Simulations I Steel Pipe in Compression

Solidworks Simulations I Steel Pipe in Compression. Lateral strain calculation
Problem Statement:
A steel pipe of length L 4.0 ft, outside diameter d2 6.0 in., and inside
diameter d1 4.5 in. is compressed by an axial force P 140 k. The
material has modulus of elasticity E 30,000 ksi and Poisson’s ratio 0.30.
Determine the following quantities for the pipe: (a) the shortening Lateral Strain, (b) the
lateral strain e, (c) the increase
d2 in the outer diameter and the increase Dd1
in the inner diameter, and (d) the increase
t in the wall thickness.
