Hello engineering friends,
I'm looking for a method to calculate the hoop stress in an oval thick-walled pipe. Other than performing a FEM that is. I came across this paper (http://www.acwhyte.fsnet.co.uk/ovalpipepaper.htm), but as far as I gather this refers to thin-walled pipe work only.
Thanks!
Good day,
I came across this paper (http://www.acwhyte.fsnet.co.uk/ovalpipepaper.htm) that explains how to calculate the hoop stress in an oval shaped thin walled pipe. Do you know of a similar paper explaining how to calculate the hoop stress in an oval shaped thick wall pipe?
Thanks!
