Summary

A theoretical study is made of the problem of a long, thick cylindrical tube subjected to two equal and diametrically opposite normal loads. The stress state is analysed by the three-dimensional theory of elasticity, with the Papkovich and Neuber stress-function approach. Numerical results for stresses and radial displacement are obtained to show the nature of stress concentration in the neighbourhood of the load. Some related experiments using the photoelasticity technique are also accomplished. Favourable correlation is shown between the theory and the test results.
