5. The following assumptions are made in order to derive the expressions for
the stresses and strains in thin cylinders :
(i) The diameter of the cylinder is more than 20 times the thickness of the
shell.
(ii) The stresses are uniformly distributed through the thickness of the wall.
(iii) The ends of the cylindrical shell are not supported from sides.

A point on the surface of thin cylinder is subjected to biaxial stress system, (Hoop
stress and Longitudinal stress) mutually perpendicular to each other, as shown in the figure.
The strains due to these stresses i.e., circumferential and longitudinal are obtained by
applying Hooke’s law and Poisson’s theory for elastic materials.

PROBLEM 1:
A thin cylindrical shell is 3m long and 1m in internal diameter. It is
subjected to internal pressure of 1.2 MPa. If the thickness of the sheet is
12mm, find the circumferential stress, longitudinal stress, changes in
diameter, length and volume . Take E=200 GPa and μ= 0.3.
SOLUTION:
1. Circumferential stress, σC:
σC= (p×d) / (2×t)
= (1.2×1000) / (2× 12)
2. Longitudinal stress, σL:
σL = (p×d) / (4×t)
= σC/2 = 50/2
= 25 N/mm2 = 25 MPa (Tensile).

31. Stresses in Thin Spherical Shell
The stress produced in the material is equivalent to the longitudinal stress in the cylinder so
Civil Engineering 31
40. Stresses in Thick Cylinder
The Analysis of Thick Cylinders is usually based on Lame’s Theory and for wh
assumptions made are as follows:
1.The material of the cylinder is homogeneous and isotropic.
2.The material stressed within elastic limits.
3.Plane sections normal to the longitudinal axis of the cylinder remain plane a
application of pressure.
4.Young’s modulus is the same in tension and compression.
5.All fibres are free to expand or contract under the action of forces irrespective
of adjacent fibres.

41. Stresses and strain in Thick Cylinder
Three Stresses and strain are developed
1.Radial (compressive)
2.Circumferential (tensile)
3.Longitudinal (tensile)
