circumferential strain

Jul 09, 2006 3 Replies

Dear All,



I require to calculate the circumferential strain of cylinder. consider a hollow cylinder as active element. a1 = inner radii b1 = outer radii E = Young's modulus v = Poisson ratio ec = circumferential strain



I require to obtain the circumferential strain in two different condition:



  1. the inner pressure of cylinder is P and the outer pressure is 0


  1. the inner pressure is 0 and the outer pressure is P



I can calculate stress components of cilynder such as radial and tangential and longitudinal stress in two above condition. what relation are there between thess stresses and circumferential strain.



Best, Aref.

Circumferential strain is the same as tangential strain in this case.

If you have Radial stress, Axial stress and Tangential (Circumferential stress) apply Hooke's Law and voila.

Consult any book on Solids Mechanics for Hooke's law and another on Theory of Elasticity for evaluating stresses.

This is the classical so called problem of "thick wall cylinder".

Yes, I would like to.
