Thickness of Engine Cylinder Wall Formula

LaTeX Go

Thickness of Cylinder Wall = Maximum Gas Pressure Inside Cylinder*Inner Diameter of Engine Cylinder/(2*Circumferential Stress in Engine Wall)+Reboring Allowance in Engine
t = p_max*D_i/(2*σ_c)+C

Hoop Stress

Hoop stress is the stress that occurs along the pipe's circumference when pressure is applied. Hoop stress acts perpendicular to the axial direction. Hoop stresses are tensile and generated to resist the bursting effect that results from the application of pressure.

Reboring Allowance

Reboring allowance is the additional metal thickness that is required to withstand maximum gas pressure. Also, when the cylinder wears out based on the availability of piston size the cylinder can be rebored.
