Welcome everyone! Today, we'll explore the forces acting on the +θ and -θ planes in our cylindrical coordinate system. Can anyone tell me what cylindrical coordinates represent?
I think they describe a three-dimensional space using radius, angle, and height, right?
Exactly! Now, when examining these planes, let’s remember that forces on +θ and -θ are critical in pressure calculations. Can someone summarize the relationship between the area of these planes and force?
Oh! The total force is the multiplication of traction and the area of the planes.
Correct! To sum up, for forces, we use: F = τ * Aθ. Let's remember, A is calculated as: ∆r ∆z. Keep that in mind!
Now, let’s discuss the traction on our +θ and -θ planes. What do we assume about the traction for simplicity's sake?
That it remains constant at the center of the planes?
Exactly! This assumption leads us to explore Taylor’s expansion for the traction components. Can anyone explain why we use Taylor's expansion here?
It allows us to analyze how traction changes around the center point, right? Especially since the basis vectors differ between the two planes.
Well said! This leads us to understand the impact of derivatives of basis vectors. Remember, these will introduce extra terms in our expressions!
Let’s conclude by summarizing our derived expressions for forces. What can we say about the total force on the +θ and -θ planes?
It combines the traction forces, and we need to remember those extra terms from the Taylor expansions.
"Yes! The critical insight is that these extra terms arise due to the differing coordinates for the basis vectors. Thus, the forces are
For θ planes, measure well, Area times traction, that's the spell!
Imagine a cylindrical tank where the water pressure at the top is steady. The tank's walls apply a constant push outward, constant traction at θ, leading them to safely hold the fluid inside!
Remember A = ∆r ∆z for area; T for traction is the key factor!
Remember 'TAC' - Traction, Area, Correction for the additional terms in force evaluation on θ planes.

This section discusses the calculations of forces acting on the +θ and -θ planes within a cylindrical coordinate system, emphasizing the constant traction assumption and the implications of varying basis vectors.
In this section, we approach the calculation of forces on the +θ and -θ planes by assuming constant traction at the centers of both planes. It explains the area considerations, the Taylor's expansion for traction components, and basis vector variations leading to additional terms in the force expressions specific to cylindrical coordinates.
In this section, we delve into determining the forces acting on the +θ and −θ planes of a cylindrical coordinate system. We consider the coordinates at the center of these planes as (r,θ+,z) and (r,θ-,z). Notably, the areas of these two planes are equal, determined by the equation
Aθ = ∆r∆z
The total force exerted on the +θ and -θ planes can be derived using their respective traction values, which we assume to be constant at the center of each plane. This means, for example, the traction on the +θ plane can be expressed as:
...
Next, we apply Taylor's series expansion to the necessary components of traction, focusing specifically on σ, e, and τ. This method involves expanding the traction σe and τe functions. The expansion procedure leads to added derivative terms as a consequence of the differing basis vectors at these two planes. Consequently, when these contributions are gathered, we can observe that:
Fθ = T_θ - Additional Terms
Ultimately, the analysis reveals that the distinctive behavior of cylindrical systems introduces extra terms that wouldn't appear in Cartesian coordinates, reinforcing the significance of recognizing these variations in engineering applications.
