Longitudinal Stress in Pressure Vessels

This document discusses thin-walled pressure vessels and provides an expression for calculating longitudinal stress. It begins by introducing the topic of mechanics of materials and thin-walled pressure vessels. An image shows a cross-section of a thin-walled pressure vessel. The document then derives an equation for longitudinal stress in a thin-walled pressure vessel as a function of pressure, diameter, and wall thickness.

Thin-Walled Pressure Vessels
Lets again look at a section cut
We will neglect the weight of the
contents and the weight of the
structure itself. These forces are
generally many orders of
magnitude less than the forces
due to the internal pressure and
the forces from the resulting
stresses in the cross-section.
