Characterization Hardware Case Thickness
The main stress exerted by the internal pressure on the cylinder is hoop stress. The equation for hoop stress can be found here: https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/stress-thick-walled-tube-d_949.html
(from Engineering Toolbox)
Other stresses to consider are axial and radial (smol)
Variables:
- max internal pressure: 3000 psi
- outside pressure: atmospheric (14.7 psi)
- inner radius: 1.75"
- yield strength of Aluminum 6061 T6: 35000 psi (https://www.fergusonperf.com/the-perforating-process/material-information/specialized-aluminum/6061-aluminium-alloy/)
- outer radius: found to be >1.9"
