Today we'll explore stress components in our hollow cylinder. Can anyone tell me what we mean by stress in this context?
Isn't stress the force applied over an area?
Exactly, stress is a measure of internal forces in a material, often denoted as σ. For our cylinder, we have two critical components: radial stress (σ_rr) and hoop stress (σ_θθ).
How do these stresses change with the cylinder's structure?
Great question! As we derive our equations, you’ll see these stresses depend on the cylinder's radius and applied pressure. Remember the acronym 'S-P-R' for Stress, Pressure, and Radius to help you recall this relationship.
Applying Boundary Conditions

Now, let’s discuss boundary conditions. Why are they important in our stress analysis?
They help us define the limits within which our equations are valid, right?
Exactly! In our case, we apply the internal pressure as a known boundary condition while assuming no external traction. This leads us to the equations for σ_rr at the inner surface and zero at the outer surface.
Does this mean we can directly substitute these conditions in our equations?
Yes! After applying these conditions, we derive crucial relationships that allow us to solve for the unknown constants A and B in our equations. Keep in mind the phrase 'C-B-A' - Constants, Boundary conditions, and Application!

Having established our boundary conditions and derived our equations, let’s look at the final expressions for our stress components.
What do those final expressions tell us?
They reveal how σ_rr and σ_θθ depend on internal pressure. As pressure increases, σ_rr becomes more negative, and σ_θθ adjusts accordingly. They offer insight into material behavior under operational loads.
Can we visualize this variation throughout the cylinder?
Absolutely! Watch for the variations in our graphs. They are essential in understanding stress distribution—think 'P-V-G' for Pressure-Variation-Graphs!

Quick Overview
Standard
In the 'Final Solution' section, we derive the solutions for stress components in a hollow cylinder subjected to internal pressure. Utilizing equilibrium equations and applying boundary conditions allowed us to find expressions for radial and hoop stresses, ultimately leading to a full understanding of how these stresses vary with the radius of the cylinder.

Final Solution
In this section, we build upon the previous analyses of solid mechanics, specifically focusing on the deformation characteristics of a hollow cylinder subjected to internal pressure. The previously derived equilibrium equations have been utilized to arrive at the final expression for stress components, namely, the radial stress (σ_rr) and the hoop stress (σ_θθ).
Key Steps Covered:
- Plugging Boundary Conditions: We start by applying the established boundary conditions—namely, the internal pressure and zero external traction—to the governing equations derived earlier in the chapter. These conditions play a crucial role in shaping the resultant stress distribution within the cylinder.
- Derivation of Stress Components: By manipulating the equilibrium equations and integrating, we derive expressions for the internal stresses, demonstrating that the radial and hoop stresses vary non-linearly with the radius of the cylinder.
- Variation of Displacement: The section concludes by determining the final forms for the displacements in terms of radial and axial components, tying back to the concept of strain under axial loads and twisting moments. The implications of these findings are significant for engineering applications, showcasing how internal pressures and material properties influence the structural integrity of hollow cylinders.

Upon plugging the boundary condition (26) in equation (20), we get the following set of equations:
(27)
solving which we get . (28)
Detailed Explanation
In this chunk, we start with the application of the boundary conditions derived earlier to the equation from the previous sections. We substitute boundary conditions into our mathematical model to derive specific equations. The new set of equations we get will help in analyzing the behavior of the hollow cylinder under stress. These equations will eventually aid in calculating the stresses at various sections of the cylinder.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine trying to fit a lid onto a jar. You know that the lid should fit snugly at the top (boundary condition). When you apply that condition and adjust, you determine how tightly it should screw on. Similarly, applying our boundary conditions lets us find how stresses distribute within the cylinder.

Chapter Content
For a positive internal pressure P, we always have A > 0 and B < 0. Using (20), we can now plot the variation in both σ and σ through the tube’s thickness as shown in Figure 2.
Detailed Explanation
This chunk discusses the implications of the results we derived. When we apply a positive internal pressure, the constants A and B we found give us insight into how stress behaves within the material. A positive A indicates tensile stress at certain points, while a negative B suggests compressive stress at others. Plotting these stresses helps visualize how they change from the inner to the outer surface of the cylinder.
Examples & Analogies
Think of a balloon. When you blow air into it (akin to applying pressure), the inside stretches while the outside pushes against the air inside. Depending on how much air you put, the stresses within the balloon change: it might bulge more at one point than another. That’s similar to how our cylindrical model predicts stress distribution.

Chapter Content
As r → ∞, both σ and σ approach which is a positive number for positive pressure P although r is feasible only between r1 and r2. From the boundary condition, we also know directly from boundary condition that σ is −P at r = r1 and 0 at r = r2.
Detailed Explanation
This part elaborates on the behavior of stresses as one moves radially outward in the cylinder. As we approach infinity radially, the stresses stabilize at a certain level, indicating the material’s response to internal pressure. The boundary conditions give us fixed points: the stress at the inner surface is equal to the negative pressure, and at the outer surface, the stress is zero. This establishes how the cylinder resists internal pressure by showing that internal pressure leads to negative stress.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine a tightly packed soda can. When you pressure the can from the inside (the soda), at one point, called the bottom (r1), it feels a lot of pressure pushing out (−P). As you move upwards (out to r2, the top), the can feels less pressure until at the very top (r2), it feels none, indicating the can can bear pressures differently based on its shape and material.

Thus, we infer that extension and torsion cannot generate σ and σ. This happens because the cross section is free to relax during extension and torsion of a circular cylinder.
Detailed Explanation
In this chunk, the discussion revolves around the effects of extension and torsion on stress. It highlights a critical observation: simply pulling (extension) or twisting (torsion) a circular cylinder does not inherently create internal stresses σrr and σθθ. The circular shape allows it to accommodate these actions without generating additional stresses, indicating the special role of form in stress behavior.
Examples & Analogies
Think about stretching a rubber band. When you pull it, it can stretch easily without tearing. Now, if you twist a bottle cap, the cap is designed to let you twist without breaking—its shape allows it to handle the torque. This is similar to our cylindrical model; its shape helps it to withstand certain forces without internal stress.
