Hoop Stress Buckling Load (External Pressure or Vacuum)
Hoop Stress Buckling Load (External Pressure or Vacuum) Formula |
||
| \( \Delta p_{max} = \frac{ 2 \; \lambda }{ 3 } \; \left( \frac{ t }{ D } \right)^3 \) | ||
| Symbol | English | Metric |
| \( \Delta p \) = change in pressure | \(\frac{lbf}{in^2}\) | \(Pa\) |
| \( \lambda \) (Greek symbol lambda) = elastic modulus | \(\frac{lbf}{in^2}\) | \(Pa\) |
| \( D \) = outside diameter | \( in \) | \( mm \) |
| \( t \) (Greek symbol sigma) = wall thickness | \( in \) | \( mm \) |
