Finding hoop stresses in a cylindrical chamber is straightforward. What if you have a rectangular chamber for vacuum or pressure?

What’s the proper method for determining the stresses in a plate on the side, and how to select the appropriate material for the stresses?

I don’t know the answer to this, but I believe that once when I was flipping through a colleague’s copy of Roark’s Formulas for Stress and Strain, I saw an in-depth treatment of that. Here’s a link to the book I mean, on amazon:
