This equation for stress computes the radial stress ( $σ_{r}$ $sigma_r$ ) at the outer wall of a cylindrical pressure vessel.¹ The radial stress is same around the entire outer round surface of the cylinder. The pressure inside the vessel for this equation is assumed to be P_i = 0.

Inputs

The stress is computed from: /attachments/59d05fc9-b61f-11e4-a9fb-bc764e2038f2/stress on outer cylinder.png

P - the pressure outside the closed cylinder
