 Compound Tubes
It can be seen from Fig. 15.12 that the hoop
stress falls off appreciably as the radius
increases, and that the material near the
outside of the tube is not being stressed to its
limit.

In order to even out the stresses the tube

may be made in two parts, one part being
shrunk on to the other (after heating).

By this means the inner tube is put into compression and the outer tube is in
tension. When an internal pressure is then applied it causes a tensile hoop
stress to be superimposed on the "shrinkage" stresses, and the resultant stress
is the algebraic sum of the two sets.

• In general the procedure is first to calculate the stresses due to
shrinkage in each component, from a knowledge of the radial
pressure at the common surface.

• The stresses due to application of internal pressure are

calculated in the normal way, and the two tubes may be treated
as one (provided they are of the same material).

 Hub Shrunk on Solid Shaft
• The shaft will be subjected to an external pressure P1 and if σ1
and P are the hoop and radial stresses at a radius r, the
equilibrium equation (6) of Para. 15.8 will be obtained as for a
"thick cylinder," i.e.

The longitudinal stress is zero, and assuming the longitudinal

strain to be constant, it follows from equation (1) of Para. 15.8
that

These two equations are solved as before, giving

18
• But since the stresses cannot be infinite at the centre of the shaft
(i.e. d = 0), then b must be zero, i.e.

which means that the hoop stress is compressive and equal to the
radial stress (and consequently the external pressure), both
stresses being constant throughout.

The hub or sleeve is subjected to an internal pressure P1 and is

treated as a thick tube under internal pressure.
