A thin-walled pressure vessel of mean radius r and wall thickness t is to contain gas at an internal pressure p. Compare the maximum internal pressures that can be withstood by an IM10 carbon fiber composite vessel and a 6061T6 aluminum vessel. Assume that both vessels have the same radius and wall thickness, that the carbon fibers are all oriented in the circumferential direction, and neglect the contribution of the matrix in the composite.
