Q2 The diaphragm of an emergency pressure switch is to be designed to withstand a maximum pressure of 4 bar acting uniformly over the entire surface of one side, which has an effective diameter of 40 mm. Assume for the material, E = 210 GNm2 and v= 0.31, and that the edges are clamped, a) Determine the minimum thickness required to limit the max stress to 350 MNm ². [10 marks] b) For the condition in a) determine the corresponding maximum deflection. [10 marks]
