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?
- Shell diameter
- Shell length
- Material density
- 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.
