Abstract
This chapter discusses the theoretical treatment of thick cylinders and reviews the difference in the treatment of thick and thin cylinders. Thick cylinder assumes that the hoop stress is constant across the thickness of the cylinder wall, and that there is no pressure gradient across the wall. The development of the theory for thick cylinders is concerned with sections remote from the ends because distribution of the stresses around the joints makes analysis at the ends particularly complex. The chapter discusses Lame equations that give the hoop and radial stresses at any point in the wall cross-section of a thick cylinder at radius r.
