Bring up the heat unitil is splits.
Waht direction does the sauceage skin split in ?
It splits in the axial direction everytime.
That is, it has failed due to thermal strain/stress.
The above is exactly the same failure mechanism of a tank or pressure vessel failing in the hoop direction, ie axially along its length.
