Cylinder stress, often referred to as "hoop stress" or "circumferential stress," is a type of mechanical stress that occurs in cylindrical structures, such as pipes and pressure vessels, when they are subjected to internal or external pressure. It measures the stress experienced by material in the walls of the cylinder due to these pressures. In more specific terms: 1. **Hoop Stress**: This is the stress that acts circumferentially (around the circumference) of the cylinder.
