The hoop stress, σt , also known as circumferential stress and tangential stress, for a cylindrical thin-walled tank under internal pressure, p, is derived from the free-body diagram of a cylinder.

The hoop component of normal stress, !$, in the sidewall of the pressure vessel is seen through a mathematical cut along the longitudinal axis of the vessel. The hoop force Fh is distributed …

Practical Piping Design PIP201: Loads, Design Criteria, and Hoop Stress Module 1: Introduction and Considerations Lesson 1: Introduction Lesson 2: Considerations

For an element sufficiently removed from the ends of the cylinder and oriented as shown in Figure 12.1, two types of normal stresses are generated: hoop, σh, and axial, σa, that both exhibit …

Measuring hoop stresses in a cylindrical geometry requires special attention with the contour method. In simply-connected geometries, residual stresses must satisfy force and moment …

The relative amount of compression and expansion depends on the stiffness (elasticity and geometry) of the two pieces. The sum of the compression and the expansion equals the …

Proper and complete assembly, use, and supervision are essential for proper operation and to reduce the risk of accident or injury. A high probability of serious injury exists if this system is …
