I think C is right.

Sajith said:   9 years ago
C is the correct.

You are right. @sivakumar.

C is the correct answer.

Radial stress(= 0) must be considered as the third principal stress.
And the maximum shear stress = (σ1 - σ3)/2
where
σ1 = Pd/2t ..........hoop stress
σ2 = Pd/4t ..........longitudinal stress
σ3 = 0 ................radial stress

So, the answer would be C.

Yes right @Renjith.

Max.shear stress = Max. Principal shear stress due to hoop stress (pd/2t) in circumferential direction and maximum axial stress (pd/4t) in axial direction. i.e., (pd/2t - pd/4t) / 2 = pd/8t. Answer (D) is correct.

Sorry for the previous one.

?1 = pd/2t.

?2 = pd/4t.

Max shear = max of { (pd/2t-pd/4t) /2, (pd/2t) /2, (pd/4t) /2}.

It should be pd/4t, 1/2 of hoop stress. So option C is correct.

The maximum shear stress is in the plane containing '$1' and 'p' and is equal to 1/2*($1) = pd/4t. So the answer is [D]. Here, $1 is the circumferential stress (sigma 1).

How it should be B?

i.e. Hoop's stress = pd/2t.
