Spherical Hoop Stress Thick-walled Section (Internal Pressure Only)
Spherical Hoop Stress Thick-walled Section (Internal Pressure Only) Formula |
||
| \( \sigma_h \;=\; [\; p_i \; r_i^2 \;/\; r_e^2 - r_i^2 \;] \; [\; 1 - (r_e^2 \;/\; r^2) \;] \) | ||
| Symbol | English | Metric |
| \(\large{ \sigma_h }\) (Greek symbol sigma) = Spherical Hoop Stress | \(lbf\;/\;in^2\) | \(Pa\) |
| \(\large{ p_i }\) = Internal Pressure | \(lbf\;/\;in^2\) | \(Pa\) |
| \(\large{ r_i }\) = Internal Radius | \(in\) | \(mm\) |
| \(\large{ r_e }\) = External Radius | \(in\) | \(mm\) |
| \(\large{ r }\) = Radius to Point of Intrest | \(in\) | \(mm\) |
