Introduction
This page includes simple equations for calulating the longitudonal ,tangential and radial stresses in  thick cylinders  with closed ends. It should be noted that material stress units are based on tensile forces = +ve and compressive forces=  -ve. Therefore the pressure on the surface which  niput as a positive value results in an equal but opposite radial stress within the local surface.
Calculations included
- Pressurised Thick CylinderRadial /Tangential  stresses
- Pressurised Thick CylinderLongitudonal   stresses for a thick walled cylinder with closed ends
- Calculation of Interface Pressure resulting from an Interference fit
- Calculation of Torque transmitted by Interference fit
