• Since hoop stress is twice longitudinal stress, the
cylinder would fail by tearing along a line parallel to
the axis, rather than on a section perpendicular to the
axis.
• The equation for hoop stress is therefore used to
determine the cylinder thickness.
• Allowance is made for this by dividing the thickness
obtained in hoop stress equation by efficiency (i.e.
tearing and shearing efficiency) of the joint.

Thin Spherical Vessels (or) Shells
• Radial stress is small and thus neglected.
• The hoop stress distribution over the
cross section is uniform.
• At any cross section of the sphere, both
hoop and longitudinal stresses
(principal) are same. Therefore, there is
no shear stress in spherical shells.
