...Zhong Hu; Anthony P. Parker This work reports results from a new finite element analysis (FEA)-based user programmable function (UPF) featuring true material constitutive behavior with proper algorithms for accurate stress analysis of swage autofrettage of high-strength thick-walled cylinders...

...S. M. Kamal; M. Perl; D. Bharali In recent years, a few new methods of achieving autofrettage in thick-walled hollow cylinders have been developed. Rotational autofrettage is one of the new methods proposed recently for prestressing thick-walled cylinders. The principle of rotational autofrettage...

...S. M. Kamal; M. Perl The theoretical modeling of the rotational autofrettage of a thick-walled cylinder based on the generalized plane strain assumption has been presented in part I of the paper. In order to access the potentiality of the proposed theoretical model, the numerical evaluation...
