Axial Stress<br />

Figure 3.12 shows that the hoop <strong>an</strong>d axial stresses increase linearly with the<br />

pressure increment. This confirms that the simulation tests were performed in the true<br />

elastic working region. Also, the percentage difference of hoop <strong>an</strong>d axial stresses at
