Abstract: The paper begins with derivation of true stress–true strain data, including postnecking section. Available results of past uni-axial tests on round 10 mm diameter and 200 mm long mild steel samples are the basis of the ...

Abstract: The paper describes burst pressures of eight mild steel toriconical shells and proposes a criterion for their ultimate loss of structural integrity based on true stress–strain material relationship. All test models were ...

Abstract: It is generally accepted that the presence of imperfections in pressure vessel components can significantly reduce their buckling strength. In fact, the discrepancies between theoretical predictions and experimental results ...
