Abstract
The deformation of internally pressurized hollow cylinder made of vulcanized rubber material is considered. The analysis of the deformation resulted second order ordinary differential equation which sought for D operator Method of solution for the determination of displacement and stresses. Appropriate boundary conditions are set up in determining the constants involved in the solution. A closed solution for the displacement and stresses at any cross section of the cylinder was achieved.
