2.2 Longitudinal Stress, 𝝈𝑳
The total force acting at the rear of the tank F must equal
to the total longitudinal stress on the wall 𝑃𝑇 = 𝜎𝐿 𝐴𝑤𝑎𝑙𝑙 .
Since 𝑡 is so small compared to 𝐷, the area of the wall is
close to 𝜋𝐷𝑡.

If there exist an external pressure 𝑝𝑜 and an internal
pressure 𝑝𝑖 , the formula may be expressed as:
𝒑𝒊 − 𝒑𝒐 𝑫
𝝈𝑳 =

It can be observed that the tangential stress is twice that of
the longitudinal stress.
