In the previous article, we have discussed stresses in a thin cylinder, we have discussed that the wall of the cylindrical shell subjected to internal pressure due to the fluid has to withstand two types of tensile stresses. Those are Circumferential stress or hoop stress and longitudinal stress. In this article let us see how we […]
Stresses in a Thin Cylindrical Shell
You must have seen heavy vehicles transporting fluids such as water/petroleum or steam boilers in some industrial plants etc. with a cylindrical structure called tanks or Pressure vessels. These Pressure vessels are used to store the fluids under the pressure. Since these fluids are stored under pressure, these may undergo a state of change inside […]
