Portuguese term or phrase: Tensão hidrostática
Tensão hidrostática

tensão expressa em megapascal, induzida na parede de um tubo, quando aplicada uma pressão utilizando água como fluído.

Tenho encontrado como tradução: "hydrostatic stress" e "hoop stress". Qual dos dois é o correto? Se alguém puder me ajudar, eu ficaria muito grata.

hydrostatic stress
Explanation:
Parece-me que a tradução correta seria "hydrostatic stress", pois trata-se de uma forma de tensão equivalente à tensão exercida por uma coluna de água.

O "hoop stress" é uma forma de tensão em objetos cilíndricos, de acordo com o segundo link abaixo.

agree  asptech: "Hoop (circumferential) stress" is one of the stress components in the pipe caused by hydrostatic pressure. There is also a longitudinal stress, equal to one half of the hoop stress.
