Solution to Problem 228 Biaxial Deformation

Problem 228
A 6-in.-long bronze tube, with closed ends, is 3 in. in diameter with a wall thickness of 0.10 in. With no internal pressure, the tube just fits between two rigid end walls. Calculate the longitudinal and tangential stresses for an internal pressure of 6000 psi. Assume ν = 1/3 and E = 12 × 106 psi.
 

Solution 228
$\varepsilon = \dfrac{\sigma_x}{E} - \nu \dfrac{\sigma_y}{E} = 0$
