Further details are reported regarding the stresses around wavy layers in thick multilayer cylinders loaded with external hydrostatic pressure. Modelling strategies, as well as new results are presented. It is shown that interlaminar normal tension is possi ble if the wavy layers are near the inner radius. This despite the compressive nature of the problem.
