Homework Statement
A cylinder has an internal diameter of 30mm and an external diameter of 50mm and is subject to an internal pressure which is 60MPa above that in the air surrounding the cylinder. Determine the radial and hoop stresses at the inner and outer surfaces.
Homework Equations
Basically i know:
internal radius in know as r1
external radius is r2
radial stress: pr1 squared/r2squared-r1squared X (r squared - r2 squared/ r squared)
hoop stresses : pr1 squared/r2squared-r1squared X (r squared + r2 squared/ r squared)
I don't know if these two equations are correct hopefully somebody could clarify this for me because the working out should be simple when this is known.
The Attempt at a Solution
I don't know what "r" is?
If i knew that i could take a stab at the equations hopefully somebody could give me two answers and if the equations are correct and two answers and i will do it myself to check this. Thanks
