Is there any close-form elastic solution available for circumferential stress generated in a thin walled hollow tube/cylinder subjected to external horizontal force? Maybe imagine it as a hollow cantilever beam subjected to a vertical load.
According to most thin walled beam theories circumferential stress is zero. Actually the kinematical hypotheses are consistent with circumferential strain to be zero (cross section is rigid in its own plane), but this hypothesis give a too stiff solution. You could recover the circumferential stress if you assume zero circumferential strain, check thin walled beam theory.
Dear Martin ,Thanks for your answer.
Can you suggest some reading material for thin walled beam theory.
Hi Sunil,
You should start with the book from Gjelsvik (no shear deformation) and Librescu (shear deformation). Good Luck!
Dear Cameron,
Can you give me some link or more details about this book. I am not able to find it even in Google.
Dear Jacklin,
Than you. But I am not applying any internal pressure. The thin wall hollow tube is just subjected to external horizontal force.
