Stress Analysis - compound cylinders

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a challenging homework problem related to stress analysis of compound cylinders, specifically problem WBVMMECH025 from the Ansys 12 verification manual. The user has successfully completed the Ansys analysis but is struggling with hand calculations, particularly in determining tangential stresses due to applied internal pressure. They express confidence in their calculations for interface pressure but suspect an error in the subsequent steps. Ultimately, the user resolves their issue and indicates that they figured it out. The conversation highlights the complexities of stress analysis and the importance of accurate calculations in engineering assignments.

Hey
this is an assignment question that i have wasted countless hours on trying to solve without success. The problem is WBVMMECH025 from the anasys 12 verification manual (problem is attached) i have completed the anysys analysis with correct results and now have to do hand calculations, I am sure that the interface pressure is correct, I am sure i am using the right formula to find tangential stresses due to interface pressure and that those answers are correct. I think it is after this where i try to find the tangetial stresses due to the applied internal pressure is where i am going wrong but can't figure out why. have attached a clean copy of my attempt and the excel formulas should be correct cause they match my hand calculations.

all help greatly appreciated
