3D State of Stress in the Pipe Wall
During operation, pipes are subject to all these types of stresses. Examining a
small cube of metal form the most highly stressed point of the pipe wall, the st
resses are distributed as so:
There are an infinite number of orientations in which this cube could have been
selected, each with a different combination of normal and shear stresses on the
faces. For example, there is one orientation of the orthogonal stress axes for w
hich one normal stress is maximised and another for which one normal stress is m
inimised
in both cases; all shear stress components are zero. In orientation in
which the shear stress is zero, the resulting normal components of the stress ar
e termed the principal stresses. For 3-dimensional analyses, there are three of
them and they are designated S1 (the maximum), S2 and S3 (the minimum). Note tha
t regardless of the orientation of the stress axes, the sum of the orthogonal st
ress components is always equal, i.e.:
The converse of these orientations is that in which the shear stress component i
s maximised (there is also an orientation in which the shear stress is minimised
, but this is ignored since the magnitudes of the minimum and maximum shear stre
sses are the same); this is appropriately called the orientation of maximum shea
r stress. The maximum shear stress in a three dimensional state of stress is equ
al to the difference between the largest and smallest of the principal stresses
(S1 and S3).
The values of the principal and maximum shear stress can be determined through t
he use of Mohr s circle. The Mohr s circle analysis can be simplified by neglecting
the radial stress component, therefore considering a less complex (i.e. 2D) stat
e of stress. A Mohr s circle can be developed by plotting the normal vs. shear str
esses for the two known orientations (i.e. longitudinal stress vs. shear and hoo
p stress vs. shear), and constructing a circle through the two points. The infin
ite combinations of normal and shear stresses around the circle represent the co
mbinations present in the infinite number of possible orientations of the local
stress axes.
A differential element at the outer radius of the pipe (where bending and torsio
nal stresses are maximised and the radial normal and force-induced shear stresse
s are usually zero) is subject to 2D plane stress and thus the principal stress
terms can be computed from the following Mohr s circle:

The centre of the circle is at and the radius is equal to(* + ) . Therefore the
principal stresses S1 and S2 are equal to the centre of the circle, plus or minu
s the radius respectively. The principal stresses are calculated as: *( ) +
and *( ) +
As noted above, the maximum shear stress present in any orientation is equal to
