What is Thin Cylindrical Shells in Engineering about?
1. Thin cylindrical shells are subjected to three stresses when pressurized: hoop/circumferential stress, longitudinal stress, and radial stress. 2. The hoop stress acts along the circumference and tends to increase the diameter. The longitudinal stress acts along the length and increases the length. 3. For thin cylinders, the radial stress is small and neglected. Equations are derived for hoop stress based on equilibrium of forces across an element of the cylinder wall.
