From: From pressure to tension: a model of damaging inflation stress
Force balance between outwardly directed interior pressure and inwardly directed tension at the surface of the sphere (T = PR/2) (left panel). The cut view (right panel) illustrates that the latter arise in part from the combined tangential force vectors within the curved SLM. In this illustration of geometrical relationships, the contribution of tissue recoil to the inward force vector is not considered. R = radius
