The overall axial membrane stress in an internally pressurized cylinder is always half of the overall circumferential membrane stress. Is this sentence correct?
Of course not; there are prerequisites for this – the cylinder is only under internal pressure, with no other loads
It shouldn’t be the case; theoretically, the circumferential primary membrane stress acting on the inner cylinder of a cylinder subjected to internal gas pressure should be twice the radial primary membrane stress.
