Abstract: Based on the structural dimensions and mechanical relation of an arbitrary C-ring specimen, a mechanical model for an arbitrary cross section within a C-ring was established. According to the fundamental theories of mechanics of materials, a theoretical equation was derived to describe the relation between the hoop stress at any point on the outer and inner walls and the loading displacement and load of a C-ring specimen. To verify the equation derived in this study, a mechanical model of C-ring specimen based on finite element method was established. The C-ring specimen test required the largest hoop tensile stress to be 650 MPa. The results of the finite element method and theoretical equation were compared for a C-ring specimen with tubing outer diameter of 88.9 mm. The error of load and displacement obtained by using the finite element method and the theoretical equation were -1.82% and 1.25%, respectively. The results verify the theoretical equation, which provides a simple calculation method for determining the experimental loading parameters of sulfide stress corrosion cracking and stress corrosion cracking tests on C-ring.
