Abstract: Material modeling of high strength steels plays an important role in the accurate analysis of autofrettaged tubes. Although, the loading behavior of such materials is nearly elastic-perfectly ...

Abstract: In this paper a general variable material property (VMP) formulation for the solution of thick-walled tubes with constant axial strains was developed and compared with the alternative VMP method ...

Abstract: Autofrettage is a technique for introducing beneficial residual stresses into cylinders. Both analytical and numerical methods are used for the analysis of the autofrettage process. Analytical ...

Abstract: Welding process is widely used in manufacturing of many important engineering components. For such structures, the most important problem is the development of residual stresses and distortion ...
