Thin cylinder Ratio of wall thickness to diameter of cylinder is less than 1/20 Circumferential stress is assumed to be constant throught the wall thickness Thick cylinder Ratio of wall thickness to diameter of cylinder is more than 1/20 Circumferential stress varies from inner to outer wall .

10. Draw the Mohrs circle for a state of pure shear and indicate the principal stresses.

The stresses on plane AC is +ve shear and is represented by OE and the stresses on plane BC is -ve shear and is represented by OF.A circle is drawn through these two points E and F Its center will be O . OP represents the resultant stresses on the plane BC . The planes represented by CR and CS will have only normal stress tensile and compressive respectively of magnitude .
