I have a design that requires a steel band to be clamped around a round steel shell. For reference the band is 1/2" thick x 4" wide and clamps around a steel cylinder 36" diameter and 1/4" wall. Given that I know the tension on the band clamp how does this force determine the radial stress the band is placing on the steel shell?
 
Are you asking how you'd calculate this in ANSYS, or calculate it by hand?
