As we know the formula for Z for ext and int dia is Z= 3.14(D^4-d^4)/32D and we also know that (D^4-d^4)= (D^2-d^2)(D^2+d^2) and we also know the area A= (3.14(D^2-d^2))/4
e=Z/A.

e=(3.14(D^4-d^4)/32D)/(3.14(D^2-d^2))/4.

Hence e will comes after solving.
e= (D^2+d^2)/8D.

σ(min) = 0 = (p/A) - (p.e/z),
e = z/A,
z = (3.14 * (D^2 - d^2))/(32 * D),
A = (3.14 * (D^2 - d^2),
σ(min)=(D^2 + d^2)/8D.

Z= (3.14* (D^4 - d^4))/32 D.
A = (3.14 * (D^2 - d^2))/4.
e= (D^2 + d^2)/8 D.

But here Z = (3.14*(D^4-d^4))/16D?

How come (32*D)?
