Autofrettage of Thick Cylinders
Abstract
Based on the third and the fourth strength theory, this paper presents an analytic equation for optimum radius of elasticplastic juncture,
r jopt, in autofrettage technology; influence of autofrettage on stress distribution and load-bearing capacity of a cylinder is studied and
optimum pressure in autofrettage technology is presented. q 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved
