Hello everyone,

i have to solve a problem given by my lecturer.

plate diameter: 200in
stress 36 lb/in2
material: EN-GJL-250/GG25 (cast iron alloy)
the plate is stored on rollers

we have to calculate the minimum plate thickness without breaking.

Does anyone know how to calculate that? I hope i havent forgot anything.

Tanks to everyone!
