The paper introduces a method for finding stresses in thick-walled cylinders which is more direct than the usual technique. By reducing markedly the amount of algebra needed, the method helps students to see clearly how a thick-walled cylinder withstands internal pressure. Calculation of the interference needed in shrink-fitted cylinders, and of the residual stresses following autofrettage, are greatly simplified using the method.
