Abstract: In this theoretical study, based on Trescas yield criterion and its associated flow rule, the elastic deformation of a centrally heated compound cylinder with fixed ends is investigated analytically by taking into consideration not only the geometrical but also the material parameters such as yield strength, modulus of elasticity, Poissons ratio, thermal conductivity and coefficient of thermal expansion. These material parameters are assumed to be independent of the temperature. The compound cylinder is assumed to be very long such that axisymmetric condition exists. Both of the constituent materials of the two layers are supposed to be elastic-perfectly plastic materials. There is heat generation in the interior solid cylinder but no heat generation in the outer hollow cylinder. Both of the cylinders are assumed to be bounded perfectly at the interface. Elastic stress analysis is performed to prevent yield in the compound cylinder. Keywords: Compound cylinder, elastic stress analysis, thermal stress, yield strength.

Abstract: Autofrettage is used to introduce advantageous residual stresses into cylinders. The Bauschinger effect can produce less compressive residual hoop stresses near the bore than are predicted “ideal” autofrettage solutions. A723 steel is used for compound cylinder. This paper extends the analysis to material the addition of pressure or of shrink-fitting to the cylinders, providing associated residual stress profiles following various amounts of further yielding due to a net external pressure. The Bauschinger effects for “realistic” – Bauschinger effect dependent autofrettage are obtained. The 2-D analysis is performed via the finite element method. The Bauschinger effect is found to significantly lower the beneficial stress due to autofrettage.
