Question

The expression for hoop stress/circumferential stress (F1) generated in the material of thin cylinder due to internal pressure of fluid (P) is given by:
Where t = thickness of the wall of cylinder
d = internal diameter of cylinder

• A. \(F_1=\frac{pd}{2t}\)
• B. \(F_1=\frac{pd}{4t}\)
• C. \(F_1=\frac{p^2d}{2t}\)
• D. \(F_1=\frac{pd^2}{2t}\)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The correct answer is (A) : \(F_1=\frac{pd}{2t}\).
