Thick Walled Cylinders

Objectives:
  1. Review of equations used to predict stress distributions in thick-walled cylinders.

  2. Parametic study of variables influencing stress distributions:

    1. Interactive Java/PV-Wave (JWave) Tools: Visualize quantitative
      changes in model's physical parameters with 2D plots.
      Note: This JWave module no longer works since Visual Numerics was
      bought by Rogue Wave software and JWave is no longer supported.

    2. Clickable animations: Visualize qualitative
      changes in model's physical parameters with animations.

Prerequites:

  1. Class lecture on derivation of equations used to model stress distributions in thick walled cylinders.
