Your Question:

A thick walled cylinder, of internal diameter 160 mm and external diameter 320 mm, is subject to an internal and external pressure as shown in Figure 1. If the external pressure is 10 MPa and the maximum circumferential (hoop) stress permitted on the inside wall of the cylinder is limited to 30 N.mm^-2

a) What is the maximum internal pressure that can be applied?

b) What will be the change in the outside diameter when this pressure is applied?
