Today, we are going to talk about radial stress, which we denote as σrr, and hoop stress, denoted as σθ. Can anyone tell me what these stresses represent?
Isn't radial stress the force exerted in the direction of the radius?
Exactly! Radial stress acts inward or outward along the radius from the center of the cylinder. Now, what about hoop stress?
Hoop stress acts tangentially around the cylinder, right?
Correct! It is crucial for understanding how hollow cylinders behave under pressure. Let's remember: Radial goes inwards or outwards, while hoop goes around!
We derived some key equilibrium equations last time. Can anyone recall what they help us find?
They help find displacement and determine the stress components?
Exactly! When we simplify these equations, we can express stress in terms of radial displacement. For instance, we noticed that σrr is solely a function of r. Why do you think that is?
Because the stress state changes radially but doesn't depend on other dimensions like height?
Right again! It's a key part of how mechanical systems work. Remember RHL: Radial depends on Height and Length, but only in a radial way!
Now, let’s discuss boundary conditions. When we apply pressure at the inner surface of the cylinder, how do we express that mathematically?
I think we write it as σn = tapp? Where tapp is the applied traction.
Precisely! And what happens at the outer surface where there's no external force?
Then, the stress σrr would be zero?
Exactly! Remember the condition: Pressure gives internal traction; no pressure yields no tension.
Using our results from before, let's derive the final stresses. Who remembers the integral equations we set up?
We integrated twice to get the final forms of the stresses!
Yes! And do we know what the results indicate about a positive internal pressure?
It indicates that σrr is negative at the inner radius and zero at the outer radius. That makes sense!
Exactly! Remembering how these stresses behave helps us design better structures. Think of Internal is Inward: Pressure is Negative!
Now let’s interpret our final plots showing stress variations. What do you see in terms of values and shapes?
The radial stress decreases as we move outward, while hoop stress seems to increase overall?
Yes! This relationship is critical. Can anyone describe why they mirror each other?
Because of the equilibrium conditions and how stresses need to maintain balance within the structure!
Well said! Keep in mind our Mirror Principle—stresses reflect each other across the radial plot.
The stress experienced in a radial direction within a hollow cylinder.
The circumferential stress exerted due to internal pressure.
A condition where all forces acting on a body are balanced.
Critical specifications needed to solve differential equations relating to mechanical systems.
The movement occurring in a structure due to applied loads.
For a hollow cylinder subjected to uniform internal pressure, the hoop stress at any radial distance shows a maximum at the inner surface.
Utilizing boundary conditions, if the internal pressure is increased, the radial and hoop stresses can be recalculated, demonstrating their inverse relationship across the cylinder's radius.
For radial stress that goes side to side, It acts on edges, wide and wide.
Imagine a hollow cylinder at a party, with friends pushing from inside. The pressure is their excitement, creating hoop stresses as they circle around!
Remember 'RHL' — Radial depends on Height and Length, but radial behavior is all about the radius!

This section explores the mathematical solution of stress components in a hollow cylinder, specifically focusing on radial and hoop stresses under specific boundary conditions.
In this section, we derive the solutions for radial and hoop stress components in a hollow cylinder subjected to internal pressure, using equilibrium equations and boundary conditions. The discussion emphasizes how these stress components behave throughout the cylinder thickness and their dependency on applied parameters.
In this section, we thoroughly analyze the stress components, specifically radial (C3rr) and hoop (C3θ), in a hollow cylinder under the influence of internal pressure. After a brief recap of previously derived equilibrium equations, we establish a mathematical framework to express these stress components in relation to displacement and boundary conditions.
Equilibrium Equations: Utilizing the derived equilibrium equations, we determine that the radial and hoop stresses vary through the thickness of the cylinder but their sum remains constant.
Stress Components: By establishing expressions of stresses in terms of displacement, we identify that both stress components depend solely on the radial coordinate, r, under static conditions.
Boundary Conditions: The application of crucial boundary conditions, specifically the internal pressure and zero traction conditions at the outer surface, allows us to derive necessary constants.
Final Solutions for Stresses: Integrating the equations leads to explicit solutions for the stress components, highlighting their variations and behavior under different loading scenarios, particularly noting that axial force and twisting moments do not generate stress if there’s no internal pressure.
Graphical Interpretation: The section concludes with a graphical representation of how these stresses vary across the cylinder’s thickness, illustrating fundamental principles of behavior under torsion and extension conditions.
This section is essential for understanding how internal pressures result in stress distributions within hollow cylinders, a crucial aspect in solid mechanics applications.
