A Theory of Autofrettage for Open-Ended, Polar Orthotropic Cylinders

  • Marina Rynkovskaya,
  • Sergei Alexandrov and
  • Lihui Lang

22 February 2019

Autofrettage is a widely used process to enhance the fatigue life of holes. In the theoretical investigation presented in this article, a semi-analytic solution is derived for a polar, orthotropic, open-ended cylinder subjected to internal pressure,...
