Thick and Thin Proposal
Thick and Thin Proposal
Thick and Thin Proposal
1. To investigate and analyze the stress systems in thin and thick cylinders.
2. To compare stress systems or distributions between thin and thick cylinders.
3. To determine the behaviour of thick and thin cylinders in open ends condition and
closed ends condition.
2.0 HYPOTHESIS
Maximum σR, occurs at the inner radius (R1) i.e. = P (where P = Internal Pressure)
Minimum occurs at the outer radius (R2) i.e. σR = 0
(1)
(2)
where
Now for a cylinder under internal pressure P (MPa) and free from axial loading
(σ = 0), the maximum shear stress will occur at the inner radius.
i.e. Maximum shear stress, = 1/2x (difference of the two principal stresses).

5.0 CONCLUSION
From the report above we observe the strain in a thin cylinder both experimentally and
theoretically, using the apparatus and through calculations using the Mohr's circle. The report
show and explains internal pressure and complex stresses in a thin cylinder using the
experiment and the calculations.
