Radial Displacement Spherical (Radius Change) Formula

\( \Delta_r \;=\;  \dfrac{ (p \cdot r^2 ) \cdot  ( 1 - \mu )  }{  2 \cdot \lambda \cdot t } \)
 Symbol English Metric
\( \Delta_r \) = Radius Change \( in \) \( mm \)
\( p \) = Pressure Under Consideration \(lbf\;/\;in^2\) \(Pa\)
\( r \) = Radius to Point of Intrest \( in \) \( mm \)
\( \mu \)  (Greek symbol mu) = Poisson's Ratio \( dimensionless \) \( dimensionless \)
\( \lambda \)  (Greek symbol lambda) = Elastic Modulus \(lbf\;/\; in^2\) \(Pa\)
\( t \) = Wall Thickness \( in \) \( mm \)
