Abstract: Autofrettage is a means of generating compressive residual stresses at the inner side of a thick-walled cylinder or hollow disk by causing nonhomogeneous plastic deformation of the material at the inner side. The presence ...

Abstract: The theoretical modeling of the rotational autofrettage of a thick-walled cylinder based on the generalized plane strain assumption has been presented in part I of the paper. In order to access the potentiality of the ...

Abstract: Thickwalled cylinders such as gun barrels, high pressure containers, and rocket shells are designed to withstand high pressure. The cylinder material may crack if the induced pressure exceeds the material yield strength. ...

Abstract: In recent years, a few new methods of achieving autofrettage in thick-walled hollow cylinders have been developed. Rotational autofrettage is one of the new methods proposed recently for prestressing thick-walled cylinders. ...

Abstract: Thick-walled cylinders are subjected to autofrettage process to increase their pressure carrying capacity and fatigue lifetime. The thermal autofrettage process is a potential process that can generate beneficial compressive ...

Abstract: The evaluation of equivalent temperature fields for cylindrical and spherical pressure vessels to imitate autofrettage-induced residual stresses has been successfully implemented in studying crack growth in autofrettaged ...

Abstract: This article presents an investigation of the reinforcement of lughole structures, particularly a hole in an infinite (very large) plate widely employed across aerospace, automobile, and marine industries. The study focuses ...

Abstract: The equivalent temperature field of residual stresses induced by autofrettage of thick-walled cylinders and spheres have been successfully implemented in a finite element method framework to study the crack growth in ...
