Pressure Vessel Stress
Estimate thin-wall membrane stresses for pressurized cylindrical and spherical shells. The tool reports the radius-to-thickness validity check so students can see when thick-wall theory is needed.

Thin-wall range
cylinder shell stress directions
2.00 MPa internal pressure
Membrane stress by direction
Maximum 200.0 MPa
Mean radius
