MECHANICAL PROBLEM OF THE MONTH - Machine Design & Materials NCEES Problem 521 - Thick-Wall Cylinder

Problem 521 in the NCEES Mechanical Practice Exam for Machine Design & Materials has a very straightforward solution, however the origin of the equation used was not clear to participants in our review or myself. Consequently, there was great discussion in our DTC Participant Forum as to where it came from until one of the participants realized how it could be obtained. This Instructional Companion provides the details of the approach suggested by that participant. - Dr. Tom
