After the balloon contacts the inside of the steel tube no further radial expansion can occur, but it is free to move longitudinally relative to the steel With the balloon in contact with the steel, an increment of internal pressure of $0 KN/m? is applied. Calculate the changes in longitudinal and circumferential stresses caused in the cylindrical part of the balloon by that internal pressure change.
