OPTIMUM AUTOFRETTAGE PRESSURE IN THICK CYLINDERS
Keywords:
Autofrettage, pressure vessels, residual stress, plastic collapse, finite element analysisAbstract
In optimal design of pressurised thick-walled cylinders, an increase in the
allowable internal pressure can be achieved by an autofrettage process. An
analysis is carried out on plain cylinders by using the von Mises and Tresca
yield criteria to develop a procedure in which the autofrettage pressure is
determined analytically, resulting in a reduced stress distribution. A validation
by a numerical simulation shows that the analytical and numerical simulations
correlate well in terms of trend and magnitude ofstresses.
