Stress
• If A and B are on the same side of the
origin (i.e., have the same sign), then
a) the circle defining σmax, σmin, and
τmax for the element is not the circle
corresponding to transformations within
the plane of stress
b) maximum shearing stress for the
element is equal to half of the
maximum stress
c) planes of maximum shearing stress are
at 45 degrees to the plane of stress

Stresses in Thin-Walled Pressure Vessels
• Cylindrical vessel with principal stresses
σ1 = hoop stress
σ2 = longitudinal stress
• Hoop stress:
∑ Fz = 0 = σ 1(2t ∆x ) − p(2r ∆x )
pr
σ1 =

Stresses in Thin-Walled Pressure Vessels
• Points A and B correspond to hoop stress, σ1,
and longitudinal stress, σ2
• Maximum in-plane shearing stress:

• Maximum out-of-plane shearing stress
corresponds to a 45o rotation of the plane
stress element around a longitudinal
g axis
