Question

1. Radial stress in a thin spherical
pressure vessel is
O (A) Equal to hoop stress
O (B) Double the hoop stress
O (C) Half the hoop stress
O (D) Zero​

Answer 1

the radial stress for thick walled cylinder is equal and opposite to the the gauge pressure on on the inside surface zero on the outside surface

so the answer is zero

Answer 2

RADIAL STRESS

Radial stress in a thin spherical pressure vessel is (D) ZERO

GETTING TO KNOW MORE ABOUT RADIAL STRESS:

* The effective stress operating in the radial direction, that is, the direction perpendicular to the pipe's longitudinal axis, is known as radial stress. Radial stress is named by the fact that it works in a radial direction.

* The hoop stress, longitudinal stress, and radial stress all operate in opposite directions. These varied stresses act on the pipe in subterranean pipelines depending on the loading and fluid properties.

* If the pressure is applied from the interior of the cylinder, the inner surface will experience the most stress, while the outside surface would experience the least.
