Abstract: This paper gives a critical review of the various theories for predicting the maximum pressure that have been applied to thick-walled cylindrical pressure vessels. A new anisotropic theory ...

Abstract: By assuming a linear cumulative damage hypothesis for strain cycling, theories are developed in this paper for fatigue life under varying strain amplitude, residual ductility after a given history ...

Abstract: This paper develops a theory for the determination of the plastic pressure-deformation relation in a thick-walled cylindrical pressure vessel subjected to internal pressure and made of an anisotropic ...

Abstract: When a pressure vessel is subjected to internal pressure and is made from a material which exhibits creep, the vessel will expand. If the internal pressure is held constant during expansion, ...
