THIN AND THICK CYLINDERS

They are,

In many engineering applications, cylinders are frequently

used for transporting or storing of liquids, gases or fluids.

Eg: Pipes, Boilers, storage tanks etc.

These cylinders are subjected to fluid pressures. When a

cylinder is subjected to a internal pressure, at any point on the

cylinder wall, three types of stresses are induced on three

mutually perpendicular planes.

2. Longitudinal Stress (σL ) – This stress is directed along the

length of the cylinder. This is also tensile in nature and tends

to increase the length.

3. Radial pressure ( pr ) – It is compressive in nature.

Its magnitude is equal to fluid pressure on the inside wall and

zero on the outer wall if it is open to atmosphere.

1. Hoop or Circumferential Stress (σC) – This is directed along the

tangent to the circumference and tensile in nature. Thus, there

will be increase in diameter.

INTRODUCTION:

A cylinder or spherical shell is considered to be thin when

the metal thickness is small compared to internal diameter.

i. e., when the wall thickness, ‘t’ is equal to or less than

‘d/20’, where ‘d’ is the internal diameter of the cylinder or shell,

we consider the cylinder or shell to be thin, otherwise thick.

Magnitude of radial pressure is very small compared to

other two stresses in case of thin cylinders and hence neglected.

Circumferential stress

The stress acting along the circumference of the cylinder is called circumferential stresses whereas the stress acting along the length of the cylinder (i.e., in the longitudinal direction ) is known as longitudinal stress

Page 6: THIN AND THICK CYLINDERS They are, In many engineering applications, cylinders are frequently used for transporting or storing of liquids, gases or fluids

The bursting will take place if the force due to internal (fluid) pressure (acting vertically upwards and downwards) is more than the resisting force due to circumferential stress set up in the material.

EVALUATION OF STRAINS

A point on the surface of thin cylinder is subjected to biaxial

stress system, (Hoop stress and Longitudinal stress) mutually

perpendicular to each other, as shown in the figure. The strains due

to these stresses i.e., circumferential and longitudinal are obtained

by applying Hooke’s law and Poisson’s theory for elastic

materials.

If the permissible tensile stress is 20N/mm2, permissible shear stress is 8N/mm2 and permissible change in diameter is 0.2mm, find the minimum thickness of the metal required. Take E = 200GPa, and μ = 0.3.

JOINT EFFICIENCY

Longitudinal rivets

Circumferential rivets

Steel plates of only particular lengths and width are available. Hence whenever larger size cylinders (like boilers) are required, a number of plates are to be connected. This is achieved by using riveting in circumferential and longitudinal directions as shown in figure. Due to the holes for rivets, the net area of cross section decreases and hence the stresses increase.

Page 34: THIN AND THICK CYLINDERS They are, In many engineering applications, cylinders are frequently used for transporting or storing of liquids, gases or fluids

JOINT EFFICIENCY

The cylindrical shells like boilers are having two types of joints

namely Longitudinal and Circumferential joints. Due to the holes for

rivets, the net area of cross section decreases and hence the stresses

increase. If the efficiencies of these joints are known, the stresses

can be calculated as follows.

Let η L= Efficiency of Longitudinal joint

and η C = Efficiency of Circumferential joint.

The thickness of the cylinder is large compared to that of

thin cylinder.

i. e., in case of thick cylinders, the metal thickness ‘t’ is

more than ‘d/20’, where ‘d’ is the internal diameter of the cylinder.

Magnitude of radial stress (pr) is large and hence it cannot

be neglected. The circumferential stress is also not uniform across

the cylinder wall. The radial stress is compressive in nature and

circumferential and longitudinal stresses are tensile in nature.

Radial stress and circumferential stresses are computed by using

‘Lame’s equations’.

Page 48: THIN AND THICK CYLINDERS They are, In many engineering applications, cylinders are frequently used for transporting or storing of liquids, gases or fluids

LAME’S EQUATIONS (Theory) :

4. The material is homogeneous, isotropic and obeys Hooke’s law. (The

stresses are within proportionality limit).

1. Plane sections of the cylinder normal to its axis remain plane and

normal even under pressure. 2. Longitudinal stress (σL) and longitudinal strain (εL) remain constant

throughout the thickness of the wall. 3. Since longitudinal stress (σL) and longitudinal strain (εL) are constant,

it follows that the difference in the magnitude of hoop stress and radial stress (pr) at any point on the cylinder wall is a constant.

The bursting force is

evaluated by considering

the projected area,

‘2×r×L’ for the inner face

and ‘2×(r+δr)×L’ for the

The net bursting force, P = pr×2×r×L - (pr+δpr)×2×(r+δr)×L

NOTE:

1. Variations of Hoop stress and Radial stress are parabolic across

the cylinder wall.

2. At the inner edge, the stresses are maximum.

3. The value of ‘Permissible or Maximum Hoop Stress’ is to be

considered on the inner edge.

4. The maximum shear stress (σ max) and Hoop, Longitudinal and

radial strains (εc, εL, εr) are calculated as in thin cylinder but

separately for inner and outer edges.
