stresses in a steel band clamp

stresses in a steel band clamp

(OP)
I have a design that requires a steel band to be clamped around a round steel shell. For reference the band is 1/2" thick x 4" wide and clamps around a steel cylinder 36" diameter and 1/4" wall. Given that I know the tension on the band clamp how does this force determine the radial stress the band is placing on the steel shell?

RE: stresses in a steel band clamp

Are you asking how you'd calculate this in ANSYS, or calculate it by hand?
