Hi,

i'm new to working with rubber materials and i'm interessted to know the relation between the wall thickness of a rubber ball and the pressure needed to inflate it. In other words, is there any formula or relation that can tell me how much pressure i need to inflate a tennis ball with a known wall thickness and if i increase the wallthickness how much pressure do i need to inflate it before it bursts or deforms? thanks a lot for your help.
