"Resistance of Cylindrical Shells to an Internal Fluid Pressure.—The tension produced in a cylindrical shell by an internal fluid pressure may be considered as being of two different kinds—viz., first, a tension acting in a longitudinal direction, tending to pull the ends of the cylinder apart; and, secondly, a tension acting in a diametrical direction, tending to split the cylinder from end to end."
