Click the Max and Min Tags in the menu bar: they will show the maximum and minimum stresses and their locations. Now, we can see that the maximum r-stress is -.110 psi, and the minimum r-stress is -82.302 psi.

Sigma-theta

Now click Sigma-theta in the outline window. This will bring up the stress distribution for the stress in the theta direction. As with Sigma-r, the stress is a function of r, only. Also, there is some transience near the moment. Again, we will look at an area of the geometry far from the transience to decrease its influence on our solution. Click Sigma-theta without transience in the outline window to bring up the stress distribution at the middle of the bar.
