Abstract
The effect of internal pressure an a closed tube of incompressible orthotropic material is analyzed. The cross section of the tube consists of two regions each having a different set of material properties. An exact solution for the stresses, strains and radial displacement is obtained based on the theory of orthotropic elasticity. The exact solution is simplified for thin walled tubes. The presence of a second layer is shown to reduce the stress in the original layer by more than the ratio of wall thickness. In general, the stresses in each layer are unequal. A relation is presented which assures the existence of equal circumferential stress in each layer
