% Computes the thickness of a pressure vessel.
The default type is 'cylinder'. If there are no outputs it creates a plot.
Type HoopStress for a demonstration of a 0.2 m radius pressure vessel
with a titanium shell.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
t = HoopStress( r, p, sigma, type )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
r (1,1) Radius (m)
p (1,:) Pressure (N/m^2)
sigma (1,1) Stress (N/m^2)
type (1,:) 'cylinder' or 'sphere'
-------
Outputs
-------
t (1,:) Thickness (m)
