The Variation of the hoop stress and the radial stress on a thick cylinder,

♥️The tangential stress varies parabolically from the maximum value at the inner radius to the minimum value at the outer radius.

♥️The radial stress also varies parabolically but the maximum value is at the inner radius and at the outer radius the value is zero.

Tangential stress is also known as hoop stress/ circumferential stress.
Generally, term hoop stress is used for a thin cylinder and tangential stress is used for thick cylinder representing a similar type of stress.
