Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An effective incremental theory was developed for solving the problem of partially yielded, thick-walled cylinders made of strain-hardening materials subjected to any combination of internal pressure, external pressure, and end loading. The theory developed in the Research Directorate, U.S. Army Weapons Command, includes Prandtl-Reuss' incremental stress-strain laws, Von Mises' flow criterion, and the strain-hardening and compressibility properties of a material. Since the consideration of stress and strain history is involved in the analysis, the present theory is particularly suitable for predicting stress and strain distribution, and location of the elastic-plastic boundary of a thick-walled cylinder subjected to nonproportionate loading.
