Linear elastic solution of an axisymmetric boundary value problem is used as a basis to
generate its inelastic solution. This method treats the material parameters as field variables …

In this work, increasing the in-service rotational speed of hollow rotating disks by applying a
recent autofrettage method, viz., rotational autofrettage is presented. The rotating disks are …

Autofrettage is used to introduce advantageous residual stresses into pressure vessels and
to enhance their fatigue lifetimes. The Bauschinger effect serves to reduce the yield strength …

Cold expansion of fastener holes is a common way of improving fatigue performance of
airframes. Among the several techniques applicable, the split-sleeve method is the most …

The existing tensile–compression elastoplastic models are not suitable for varies of
materials. An accurate constitutive model of the elastoplastic mechanical properties more …

In this paper, the elastic, elastoplastic, and thermal residual stresses due to autofrettage in a
thick-walled spherical structure have been investigated. A steady-state radial temperature …

The application of the complex variable finite element method, ZFEM, to structures
containing residual stresses is detailed. A thick-walled sphere model is subjected to an …

In this paper, we set out to investigate the performances of some algorithms proposed in the
gear literature for identifying the machine-tool settings required to obtain predesigned gear …

This paper presents an analytical study of spherical autofrettage-treated pressure vessels,
considering the Bauschinger effect. A general analytical solution for stress and strain …

Two-dimensional finite element (FE) studies, for plane stress, plane strain and axisymmetric
conditions, were conducted to simulate 4 per cent cold working of a 6.35 mm diameter hole …
