Radial Displacement Thin-wall Section (External Pressure Only)
Radial Displacement Thin-wall Section (External Pressure only) Formula |
||
| \( \Delta_r \;=\; [\; -\; p_e \; r_e^2 \; r \;/\; \lambda \; \left( r_e^2 \;-\; r_i^2 \right) \;] \; \left[ \left( 1 \;-\; \mu \right) + \left( 1 \;+\; \mu \right) \; \frac{ r_i^2 }{ r^2 } \right] \) | ||
| Symbol | English | Metric |
| \( \Delta_r \) = Radius Change | \( in \) | \( mm \) |
| \( p_e \) = External Pressure | \(lbf\;/\;in^2\) | \(Pa\) |
| \( r_e \) = External Radius | \( in \) | \( mm \) |
| \( r \) = Radius to Point of Intrest | \( in \) | \( mm \) |
| \( \lambda \) (Greek symbol lambda) = Elastic Modulus | \(lbf\;/\;in^2\) | \(Pa\) |
| \( r_i \) = Internal Radius | \( in \) | \( mm \) |
| \( \mu \) (Greek symbol mu) = Poisson's Ratio | \( dimensionless \) | \( dimensionless \) |
