Abstract

An analysis has been presented to calculate the stresses and deformations in the cylinder due to flow past a stationary circular cylinder by adopting a numerical technique. The flow has been considered at Reynold's number 3.32 × 10 5 and the cylinder has been considered to be a thick cylinder under plane strain loading conditions. The pressure distribution on the cylinder surface has been approximated by Fourier series. The solution has been obtained by using Airy's stress function approach. It has been observed that the values for maximum and minimum stresses and deformations are quite remote from those for a cylinder having uniform pressure.
