Create a Cylindrical Coordinate System with the origin at the center of the cylinder and the Z axis along the axis of the cylinder.  Plot Normal Stress or Strain and set the coordinate system to the Cylindrical Coordinate System.  The X axis is Radial and the Y axis is Tangential so I suggest you relabel your figure to match how Ansys reports the stress components in a cylindrical coordinate system.
