Which parameter is directly proportional to the circumferential stress induced by internal pressure in a thin cylindrical shell?

63. Which parameter is directly proportional to the circumferential stress induced by internal pressure in a thin cylindrical shell?

1. Shell diameter
2. Shell length
3. Material density
4. Shell thickness

Answer

The correct answer is: A) Shell diameter

Explanation

Internal pressure causes a thin cylindrical shell's circumferential stress, which is directly correlated with the shell diameter. The circumferential stress rises in tandem with the diameter.
