what is hoop stress?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / karthick
normally there are two types of stresses in a long
cylindrical vessel (say boiler).they are cricumferential
stress or hoop's stress and longitudinal stress.the stress
which acts along the circumference of the cylinder is
called hoop's stress.

Answer / k. harindra kumar
it is the stress developed in cylindrical and hemisperical
bodies circumfrecially wer it depends on pressure and
geomenty, this stress is more in cylindrical objects

Answer / bn
Usually the largest stress when a circular vessel or pipe
is pressurised inside or outside.
There are 3 stresses.
Radial, equal to the applied pressure at the surface.
Longitudinal, along the length of the pipe/vessel, usually
constant across the section and usually small.
Hoop, or circumferential, the largest usually and the one
used for design calculations. If you get an acceptable
hoop stress, the other 2 will normally be inconsequential.

Answer / vijay patel
Hoop stress` is mechanical stress defined for rotationally-symmetric objects being the result of forces acting circumferentially (perpendicular both to the axis and to the radius of the object). Along with axial stress and `radial stress`, it is a component of the stress tensor in cylindrical coordinates. It is usually useful to decompose any force applied to an object with rotational symmetry into components parallel to the cylindrical coordin...
