8.3-9. In a compound cylinder for which and , elastic moduli of inner and outer
cylinders have the relation , where is a constant. Assume that and that the cylinders
fit exactly ( ). Loading is by external pressure only. Obtain an expression for at in
terms of , , and Poisson's ratio. Check the answer against Lame solutions for the special case .

Lame solutions:

a c

Let us denote the pressure between the cylinder contact surfaces at with and draw free body
diagrams of the inner cylinder and outer cylinder individually.

a c c

Use Lame solutions to express stress distributions for each cylinder:

Outer cylinder: Inner cylinder:

1
The radial displacement at are equal for both the inner and the outer disks.

For

To check the solution, use Lame solution directly for the entire compound cylinder that is made of the
same material;

Also let us check value; using Lame solution directly for the entire compound cylinder that is made of
the same material;

the cross section thus exposed balances the inertia force of the half-disk.
