Hoop and Axial Stress in A Cylindrical Shell
Consider the forces acting on the Shell from Pressure From pressure Area = D x L Here is the pressure P D
Stress S
For equilibrium - Forces must be Equal From pressure : F = PDL F = 2SLt PDL = 2SLt Sh = PD 2t
Consider now the Axial or Longitudinal Stress Force = Pressure x Area Area = .D2 4 P..D2 F = 4
Pressure
Consider now the Axial or Longitudinal Stress Force = Stress x Area Area = .D.t (approx) F = S..D.t Equate F =S..D.t = Thus SL = P .D2 P. 4 Stress

True Stress - Lame Theorem We have assumed the stress is like this: PD Sh = 2t Greater than Sh In reality it is like this:
According to the Lame Theorem (Thick Cylinder Theory) ( Ro2 + Ri2 ) S= P. ( Ro2 - Ri2 ) S > Sh ( (simple p theory) y) S Sh Ri
Ro
We now have two formulae for the hoop stress Simple Theory P.D 2t Accurate Lame Equation ( Ro2 + Ri2 ) S= P. ( Ro R 2 - Ri2 ) Notice the similarity Let us now look at the ASME Division 1 Equation q P.( R + 0.6. 0.6.t ) t P.( D + 1.2. . .t ) 2t

---- Lame (Accurate) ---- ASME (Less Accurate) ---- Simple Si l (Very (V Inaccurate) I t ) P/S
Consider the cylinder - ASME Code This is the formula per UG-27 in the code: P.R t = S.E - 0.6.P P = Pressure psi
