Creep stresses for a transversely isotropic thick-walled cylinder subjected to internal pressure under steady state temperature have been obtained by using Seth’s transition theory. Results obtained have been discussed numerically and depicted graphically. It is seen that the rotating circular cylinder under internal pressure of transversely isotropic material is on the safer side of design as compared to the rotating circular cylinder under internal pressure of isotropic material.
