A thick cylinder of inner dia ‘D’, wall thickness $$t_2$$ and length ‘L’ is sealed at its both ends with caps. The thickness of the cap is $$t_1$$. Allowable tensile yield stress = $$\sigma_y$$ and allowable shear stress = $$\tau_y$$. A gas is pumped into this cylinder at pressure ‘p’. The cap will yield in shear at circumference of diameter ‘D’ when the gas pressure applied is more than
