tc_hoopstress = (2*P_HoopStress*D)/σ_c
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Thickness of Shell for Hoop Stress - (Measured in Meter) - Thickness of Shell for Hoop Stress is based on simplified stress analysis and allowable stress for the material of construction.
Internal Pressure given Hoop Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Internal Pressure given Hoop Stress is a measure of how the internal energy of a system changes when it expands or contracts at a constant temperature.
Mean Diameter of Shell - (Measured in Meter) - Mean Diameter of Shell is the average of two measurements of the diameter taken at right angles to each other.
Circumferential Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Circumferential Stress is the force over area exerted circumferentially perpendicular to the axis and the radius.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Internal Pressure given Hoop Stress: 1560.672 Pascal --> 1560.672 Pascal No Conversion Required
Mean Diameter of Shell: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required
Circumferential Stress: 1625.7 Pascal --> 1625.7 Pascal No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

tc_hoopstress = (2*P_HoopStress*D)/σ_c --> (2*1560.672*5)/1625.7

Evaluating ... ...

tc_hoopstress = 9.6

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

9.6 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

9.6 Meter <-- Thickness of Shell for Hoop Stress

What is Hoop Stress?

Hoop stress, also known as circumferential stress, is a type of mechanical stress that acts in a circular or circumferential direction around the circumference of a cylindrical or spherical object, such as a pressure vessel. It is caused by internal or external pressure acting on the walls of the object. Hoop stress is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical or spherical shape and is distinct from longitudinal stress, which acts along the length of the object.
