A light pressure vessel is made of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy tubing with suitable end closures. This cylinder has a 31-in OD, a 0.065-in wall thickness, and v= 0.334. The purchase order specifies a minimum yield strength of 46 kpsi. Using the distortion-energy theory, determine the factor of safety if the pressure-release valve is set at 500 psi.

Question

Why does the answer of this problem consider radial stress if it is a thin walled? 

A light pressure vessel is made of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy tubing with suitable end closures.
This cylinder has a 3/-in OD, a 0.065-in wall thickness, and v= 0.334. The purchase order
specifies a minimum yield strength of 46 kpsi. Using the distortion-energy theory, determine
the factor of safety if the pressure-release valve is set at 500 psi.
