Which of the following is the formula for circumferential stress in a thin-walled cylinder? (Where d = diameter of shell and t = thickness of shell)

Apd/3t

Bpd/8t

Cpd/6t

Dpd/2t

Answer:

D. pd/2t

Read Explanation:

The formula for circumferential stress in a thin-walled cylinder is given by σh=PD2t\sigma_{h} = \frac{PD}{2t} where P is pressure, d is diameter, and t is thickness of the shell. The ratio of circumferential stress to longitudinal stress is 2.
