The resisting force of a cylinder along its longitudinal section per mm length refers to the force that opposes deformation or failure in the longitudinal direction of a cylindrical structure under internal pressure or other loads.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula calculates the resisting force along the longitudinal section of a cylinder by considering the circumferential stress, length of the cylinder, and thickness of the material.
Details: Calculating the resisting force is crucial for structural integrity analysis, pressure vessel design, and ensuring safety in engineering applications involving cylindrical structures.
Tips: Enter circumferential stress in Pascal, length in meters, and thickness in meters. All values must be positive numbers greater than zero.
Q1: What is circumferential stress?
A: Circumferential stress (hoop stress) is the stress exerted circumferentially in both directions on particles of the cylinder wall when subjected to internal pressure.
Q2: How does length affect the resisting force?
A: The resisting force is directly proportional to the length of the cylindrical shell - longer cylinders will have greater resisting forces.
Q3: What units should be used for input values?
A: Stress should be in Pascal, length in meters, and thickness in meters for consistent Newton output.
Q4: Can this formula be used for any cylindrical material?
A: Yes, the formula applies to any homogeneous cylindrical material, though material properties are accounted for in the stress value.
Q5: What are typical applications of this calculation?
A: This calculation is essential in pressure vessel design, pipeline engineering, storage tank design, and any application involving cylindrical structures under pressure.
