Linearly Varying Radial Pressure

Meridional Stress

Circumferential or Hoop Stress

Radial Displacement of Circumference

Change in height dimension y

Rotation of a meridian from its unloaded position

Where used:
E = Modulus of Elasticity (lbs/in²)
v = Poisson's ratio
σ_1,2 = stress, (lbs/in²)
t = Cylinder thickness, (in)
l = Length of cylinder, (in)
y = Length of linearly increasing load, (in)
R = Radius, (in)
q = Applied unit load (lbs/in²)
q_o = Peak applied unit load (lbs/in²)
ψ = Rotation of a meridian from its unloaded position, positive when that meridional rotation represents an increase in ΔR when y or θ increases;
