Determination of Residual Stress Distributions in Autofrettaged Thick Cylinders
High pressure vessels such as gun barrels are autofrettaged in order to increase their operating pressure and fatigue life. Autofrettage causes plastic expansion of the inner section of the cylinder – setting up residual compressive stresses at the bore after relaxation. Subsequent application of pr...
