PROBLEM (9.10) A thin-walled cylindrical vessel of radius r and thickness t is acted upon by an
internal pressure p as well as an axial compressive load P applied to the vessel through the rigid end
plates as shown in Fig. P9.10. What is the magnitude of P needed to produce pure shear in the cylinder
wall ?
