Question

For the analysis of thick cylinders, the theory applicable is

• A. Lame's theory
• B. Rankine's theory
• C. Poisson's theory
• D. Courbon's theory

Answer 1

The correct option is A Lame's theory

Lame's theorem gives the solution to thick cylinder problem. The theorem is based on that the longitudinal strain is same at all points, i.e., the strain is independent of the radius.
