Thickness of a cylinder in a compound thin cylinder

In summary: In my textbook/study guide there is no formula for radial stress given "because it is very small and thus disregarded". I am only given E=200GPa

Ok, so express the strain, ε, in terms of ri and R.
Then get an expression for the circumferential stress, σ.

Hi Haruspex

sorry for my delayed response.
Please see the answer provided by my lecturer below:

Looks like the same approach I was trying to lead you through, just done in a different order.

As long as the answer is correct :)
Thank you for your help.

If I am too late, sorry. Just working on this question myself now.

σc=(Pd)/(2t)
the circumferential strain ε=σ/E = (Pd)/(2tE) but εc= (πΔd)/d
diametral strain εd=Δd/d
∴εc=εd the change in diameter = (Pd^2)/(2tE)
The sum of changes in the diameters of the two cylinders is equal to the interference between the diameters before shrinkage.
∴(Pd^2/2tE)inner + (Pd^2/2tE)outer = 4.305x10-3
∴((200x103)(0.0952))/((2(0.0025)(200x109))+((200x103)(0.12))/((2(t)(200x109))=4.305x10-6
1.805x10-6+(5x10-9)/t=2.5x10-6
to=0.002m = 2mm

b) Not sure about this part...
Now consider the inner cylinder:
inner pressure of 180 kPa and radial pressure of 200 kPa from outside
σc=pd/2t = ((180000-200000)(0.095))/(2x0.0025)
= -0.38 MPa

consider outer cylinder:
180 kPa+200kPa
σc=pd/2t = ((180000+200000)(0.1))/(2x0.002)
= 9.5 MPaThe first part I could confirm with answer in my textbook, but the second part I had to trust is correct..

Ah, I missed the second page of comments with all the answers on...
Well, confirmed my own answers, so thanks!
