    The Hoop stress developed in the thin cylinders is given by: (where P = Internal pressure, d = Internal diameter and t = wall thickness)
    Question

    The Hoop stress developed in the thin cylinders is given by:
    (where P = Internal pressure, d = Internal diameter and t = wall thickness)

    A.

    Pd/2t

    B.

    Pd/t

    C.

    Pd/4t

    D.

    Pd/3t

    Correct option is A

    Hoop stress (or circumferential stress) in a thin walled cylindrical pressure vessel is the stress exerted in the circumferential direction when the cylinder is subjected to internal pressure. The formula for hoop stress is given by:
    σh = Pd/2t
    where:
    (P) = Internal pressure
    (d) = Internal diameter of the cylinder
    (t) = Wall thickness of the cylinder
    This relationship is crucial for ensuring the structural integrity of pressure vessels, as it helps in determining the required wall thickness for safe operation under a given internal pressure.
    Thus, the correct formula for hoop stress in a thin-walled cylinder is Pd/2t
