Explain the stresses in compound thick cylinders.
Solution:
Consider a compound thick cylinder as shown in fig.
Let,
r1= Inner radius of the compound cylinder
r2= Radius at the junction of the two cylinders
r3 = Outer radius of the compound cylinder
When one cylinder is shrunk over the other, thinner cylinder is under compression and the outer cylinder is under tension. Due to fluid pressure inside the cylinder, hoop stress will develop. The resultant hoop stress in the compound stress is that algebraic sum of the hoop stress due to initial shrinkage and that due to fluid pressure.
a. Stresses due to initial shrinkage:
b. Stresses due to Internal fluid pressure.
To find the stress in the compound cylinder due to internal fluid pressure alone, the inner and Equation,
A compound cylinder is composed of a tube of 250 mm internal diameter at 25 mm wall thickness. It is shrunk on to a tube of 200 mm internal diameter. The radial pressure at the junction is 8 N/mm2.
Find the variation of hoop stress across the wall of the compound cylinder, if it is under an internal fluid pressure of 60 N/mm2
