Hello guys,
this is my first time here take an apology if I choose wrong section of forum.
I just want to know should in shell of double-acting hydraulic cylinder (as in hydraulic presses ) should longitudinal/axis stress be analyzed beside radial and Circumferential/hoop stress and take in consideration.
I searched everywhere and couldn't find answer. I know that longitudinal stress is not important for open end cylinder such as gun barrel, but what about hydraulic press cylinder??

Thanks in advance

Since this post has not been answered for 2days I'l take a gander.
Imagine the hydraulic piston to be the bullet in a gun. Any similarities?

Also if it were to be blocked all hydraulic machinery has relief valves set to much below bursting pressure
