The residual stresses induced by cold-rolling flat plate to a cylindrical shell are investigated for initially elastic, perfectly plastic materials. Expressions for the nonlinear stress-strain curves induced by the residual stresses that are effective in the rolled condition are derived by theory. By means of the effective stress-strain curves reductions in the collapse pressure of cylindrical pressure vessels formed by rolling are calculated.

The determination of residual stresses is an important issue when it comes to material failure analysis. The variation of global indentation properties, due to the presence of residual stresses, can serve as a guideline for the size and direction of such stresses. One of these global indentation properties, the material hardness, is unfortunately invariant of residual stresses when metals and alloys are at issue. In this situation, one has to rely on the size of the indentation contact area for residual stress determination. For other materials such as ceramics and polymers, where elastic deformations are of greater importance at indentation, such invariance is no longer present. Here, this variation is investigated based on finite element simulations. The aim is then to determine how the indentation hardness is influenced by the principal residual stress ratio and also discuss if such an influence is sufficient in order to determine the size and direction of such stresses in an experimental situation. It should be emphasized that this work does not suggest a new approach to residual stress determination (by indentation testing) but investigates the applicability of previously derived methods to a situation where the surface stress field is not simplified as equi-biaxial or uniaxial. For simplicity, but not out of necessity, only cone indentation of elastic-perfectly plastic materials is considered.

ABSTRACTDiscussion of the proposed extension of the ASME pressure vessel code to cover operating pressures up to 1.4 GPa (200000 lbf/in2 ) has generated the proposal that two criteria should be used, of which one would be the collapse or ballooning pressure not the bursting pressure. The present paper examines this proposal in relation to extensive data on the collapse and bursting of thick-walled vessels available to the author.It is concluded that the collapse pressure is only readily calculable for materials which approach the behaviour of an elastic/perfectly plastic material. It also appears for materials with significant strain hardening characteristics, such as mild steel, that the collapse pressure considerably underestimates the bursting pressure, whereas for a material which behaves as an elastic/perfectly plastic material the collapse pressure is nearly coincident with the bursting pressure. Consequently if the collapse pressure was adopted and if the factor of safety against collapse was adequate for one material it might be more or less than adequate for another material, which would appear to be unacceptable.

A theoretical derivation is given for elastic and plastic buckling of stiffened, circular cylindrical shells under uniform external hydrostatic pressures. The theory accounts for variable shell stresses, as influenced by the circular stiffeners, and critical buckling pressures are obtained for simple support conditions at the shell-frame junctures. Collapse pressures for both elastic and plastic buckling are determined by iteration and numerical minimization. The theory is applicable to shells made either of strain-hardening or elastic-perfectly plastic materials. Using the developed analysis, it is shown that a variation in stiffener size can change the buckling pressures. Test data from high-strength steel and aluminum cylinders show agreement between the theoretical and experimental collapse pressures to within approximately six percent.

Abstract An elastic, perfectly plastic wedge of an incompressible isotropic material in the state of plane strain is considered, where the stress-strain relations of Prandtl-Reuss are employed in the plastic domain. For a wedge (with an included angle β) subjected to a uniform normal pressure on one boundary, the complete solution is obtained which is valid in the range 0 < β < π/2; this latter limitation is due to the character of the initial yield which depends on the magnitude of β. Numerical results for stresses and displacements are given in one case (β = π/4) for various positions of the elastic-plastic boundary.

The present work presents plastic limit load solutions for branch junctions under internal pressure and in-plane bending, based on detailed three-dimensional (3-D) FE limit analyses using elastic-perfectly plastic materials. The proposed solutions are valid for a wide range of branch junction geometries; ratios of the branch-to-run pipe radius and thickness from 0.0 to 1.0, and the mean radius-to-thickness ratio of the run pipe from 5.0 to 20.0.

The circumferential flaw evaluation procedures in ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section XI nonmandatory Appendix C are currently limited to straight pipes under pressure and bending loads without consideration of torsion loading. The Working Group on Pipe Flaw Evaluation of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code is developing guidance for considering the effects of torsion by a mean of an equivalent bending moment, which is a square root of sum square combination of bending moment and torsion load with a weighted factor for torsion moment. A torsion weighted factor, Ce, is established in this paper using large strain finite element limit load analysis with elastic perfectly plastic materials. Planar flaws and nonplanar flaws in a 10.75 in. (273 mm) OD pipe are investigated. Additionally, a finite element J-integral calculation is performed for a planar through wall circumferential flaw with elastic plastic materials subjected to bending and torsion load combinations. The proposed Ce factor for planar flaws is intended for use with the ASME B&PV Code Section XI, Appendix C for limit load and Elastic Plastic Fracture Mechanics (EPFM) circumferential planar flaw evaluations.

The basic autofrettage theory assumes elastic-perfectly plastic behaviour. Because of the Bauschinger effect and strain-hardening, most materials do not display elastic-perfectly plastic properties and consequently various autofrettage models are based on different simplified material strain-hardening models, which assume linear strain-hardening or power strain-hardening or a combination of these strain-hardening models. This approach gives a more accurate prediction than the elastic-perfectly plastic model and is suitable for different strain-hardening materials. In this paper, a general autofrettage model that incorporates the material strain-hardening relationship and the Bauschinger effect, based upon the actual tensile-compressive stress-strain curve of a material is proposed. The model incorporates the von Mises yield criterion, an incompressible material, and the plane strain condition. Analytic expressions for the residual stress distribution have been derived. Experimental results show that the present model has a stronger curve-fitting ability and gives a more accurate prediction. Several other models are shown to be special cases of the general model presented in this paper. The parameters needed in the model are determined by fitting the actual tensile-compressive curve of the material, and the maximum strain of this curve should closely represent the maximum equivalent strain at the inner surface of the cylinder under maximum autofrettage pressure.

Quasi-static finite element simulation is carried out on buckle propagation phenomenon of offshore pipelines under external pressure. Arc-length method and volume-controlled static analysis by employing hydrostatic fluid element F3D4 are employed to calculate the steady buckle propagation pressure. After verifying the validity of numerical model, emphasis is on the influence of tension on propagation pressure considering isotropic hardening elastoplastic and elastic-perfectly plastic materials. Parametric study is conducted to include the effect of diameter-thickness ratio, after which two empirical equations are derived by curve fitting procedure. Finally, some comments on the results obtained through rigid-plastic hinge model are presented and a modified plastic hinge model including effect of material anisotropy is derived. The results can serve as a reference for more reasonable design of buckle arrestors.
