FAQ

What is the Circumferential Stress?
Circumferential stress, also known as hoop stress, is a type of normal stress that acts tangentially to the circumference of a cylindrical or spherical object. Circumferential Stress is usually measured using the Newton per Square Meter for Stress. Note that the value of Circumferential Stress is always positive.
Can the Circumferential Stress be negative?
No, the Circumferential Stress, measured in Stress cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Circumferential Stress?
Circumferential Stress is usually measured using the Newton per Square Meter[N/m²] for Stress. Pascal[N/m²], Newton per Square Millimeter[N/m²], Kilonewton per Square Meter[N/m²] are the few other units in which Circumferential Stress can be measured.
