Abstract:
A solution technique is presented for the determination of residual stresses in a finite-length solid cylinder subject to non-uniform axisymmetric distributions of incompatible residual strains. The problem is reduced to the sequential solving of three individual problems: a problem on the determination of residual stresses in an infinitely long cylinder (the basic state) and two auxiliary problems for evaluating the stresses induced by the end-face effects (the disturbed states). The variational method of homogeneous solutions is implemented in order to determine the disturbed states within the framework of two latter problems. The solution technique is verified numerically for typical distribution profiles of incompatible strains depending on both the radial and axial coordinates. The approach can be used to evaluate residual stresses in a solid cylinder of finite length due to the intense thermal treatment.
