RE: Zick
Tangential shear stress would be a shearing stress in the same direction.
If you take a hollow cylinder and twist the two ends, you get tangential shear stresses in the walls.
If you take a hollow cylinder and apply air pressure, you get circumferential stress (and some longitudinal stress as well).
RE: Zick
If hoop stress is tangential, what is radial stress?
Just a question

RE: Zick
The name gives it away. It's radial. i.e. if a vessel is under a pressure P then the radial stress at the innner surface is -P and the radial stress at the outer surface is zero. So the Radial Stress varies between -P and zero.
