This equation will

Since the limiting value of

this equation
yields the value of

Now the change in strain on the outside surface of the cylinder must equal that on the
inside surface of the tape if they are to remain in contact.

In the absence of any internal pressure originally there will
be

that the original strain in the cylinder walls is given
by

E,
is Young’s
modulus of the cylinder material. When pressurised, however, the cylinder will
