We have constitutive relations :

el = (Sl / E ) - v/E * Sh.

Where Sl = longitudnal stress.
Sh = Hoop stress.

eh = (Sh / E ) - v/E * Sl
v = Poisson ratio

Substitute Sl = Pd/4t & Sh = Pd / 2t gives,

el = (Pd/4Et) (1- 2v) & eh = (Pd/4Et) (2 - v) --------------- (1).

Now volume of cylinder V = (Pi/4) d^2 * L
Differentiating gives

dV = (Pi/4) (2d d + d^2 L) ==> vol sttrain = (dV/V) = 2 d /d + L / L
ie, vol strain ev = 2 eh + el -------------- (2)
now el/ev = el /( 2 eh + el ) substituting relations from (1) & (2) gives
= (1 - 2v) / (2(2 - v) + (1 - 2v)) = (1 - 2v) / (4 - 2v + 1 - 2v) = (1 - 2v) /(5 -4 v) , put v = 1/m
==> el/ev = (m - 2) / (5m - 4) , Answer is D.

Longitudinal strain = pr/2tE(1-2/m).
Volumetric strain = pr/2tE(5-4/m).

Longitudinal strain/volumetric strain = (Pr/2tE(1-2/m))/(pr/2tE(5-4/m)).
Cancel pr/2tE.

Next will be getting
(1-2/m)/(5-4/m).

Take lcm and cancel m.
We get, m-2/5m-4.

fl = Longitudinal stress.
fc = Volumetric stress.

Longitudinal strain = el = fl/E-(1/m)*((fc)/E).
Volumetric strain = ec = fc/E - (1/m)*((fl)/E).

Now,
Longitudinal strain/volumetric strain.

Solve it & you will get the answer as (D).

All options are wrong.

Longitudinal strain= (longitudinal stress/ E) - (m circumferential stress/ E).
= Pd(1-2m)/4tE.

Volumetric strain= longitudinal strain+ circumferential strain.
= Pd(5-4m)/4tE.

Ratio= (2m-1)/(4m-5).

Longitudinal strain : pr/[2tE (1-2/m)].

Volumetric strain : pr/[2tE (5-4/m)].

pr/[2tE (1-2/m)] : pr/[2tE (5-4/m)].

pr/pr : 2tE (1-2/m) / 2tE (5-4/m).

: 2tE[ (m-2) /m]/2tE[(5m-4)/m].

: [(m-2)/m]/[(5m-4)/m].

: (m-2)/(5m-4).

Longitudinal strain : Volumetric strain.

[(pd/4Et)(1-2v)] : [(pd/4Et)(5-4v)].

(1-2v) : (5-4v).

V[(1/v)-2] : v[(5/v)-4].

Where, (1/v) = m.

(m-2):(5m-4).

@Abhishek.

No answer is correct!

m is not Poisson's ratio. Its reciprocal is

m = (1/u).

Long strain = (PR/2tE)(1-2/m).

Vol strain = (PR/2tE)(5-4/m).

All options are wrong.

Longitudinal strain = pr/2tE(1-2m).

Volumetric strain = pr/2tE(5-4m).

Net longitudinal strain = pd/4tE(1-2/m).

Net volumetric strain = pdV/2tE(5/2-2/m).

1/m is poisson's ratio where m is a constant. Values ranging between 3 and 4.
