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