Can someone lead me in the right direction of how to calculate the diametral enlargement (ballooning) of a thin walled piece due to the effects of pressure.

This is the uniform radial enlargement due to pressure. I wouldn't call it "ballooning" as when that happens in a balloon, it is highly non-linear. I doubt Formulas For Stress and Strain covers the inelastic case, as that would be dependent upon the stress-strain curve.
