The propagation of plastic zones in a thin-walled sandwich-type cylinder has been analysed theoretically. Boundary conditions are clamped-clamped at both ends, i.e. no rotation is permitted. The material was assumed to behave isotropically and to obey the yieid criterion of Huber-Hencky-von Mises. Deformation was computed on the assumption that the vector of rate of strain was normal to the plastic-interaction curve. The predicted result was verified experimentally. Four specimens were built by lamination of a hexcell core between two concentric cylinders. In the two mild-steel specimens, the initial stage of plastic flow conformed well with the prediction. This proved that plastic flow is not initiated at the mid-position between the end constraints. In two aluminium specimens, this phenomenon of incipient plastic flow could not be observed owing to the absence of a pronounced yield point. The overall agreement was, however, satisfactory.

A numerical solution for analysis of the bulging process of a thin-walled tube under internal pressure and axial force is proposed. The solution is applied to a case in which the longitudinal stress resulted from internal pressure and external compressive load is tensile along the whole length of the bulged tube. To verify whether the solution is applicable, theoretical and experimental results on the bulging of copper tubes have been obtained and are compared in this paper.

The stress analysis of a multi-mitred pipe bend when subjected to an internal pressure and a simultaneous in-plane or out-of-plane bending load has been developed. Stress patterns and flexibility factors calculated by this analysis are compared with experimental results from a large-diameter, thin-walled, three-weld, 90° multi-mitred bend which was subjected to in-plane bending tests at various internal pressures.

To save material, the safety factor of pressure vessel design standards is gradually decreased from 5.0 to 2.4 in ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Codes. So the design methods of pressure vessel should be more rationalized. Considering effects of material strain hardening and non-linear structural deformation, the elastic-plastic stress analysis is the most suitable for pressure vessels design at present. This paper is based on elastic-plastic theory and considers material strain hardening and structural deformation effects. Elastic-plastic stress analyses of pressure vessels are summarized. Firstly, expressions of load and structural deformation relationship were introduced for thin-walled cylindrical and spherical vessels under internal pressure. Secondly, the plastic instability for thin-walled cylindrical and spherical vessels under internal pressure were analysed. Thirdly, to prevent pressure vessels from local failure, the ductile fracture strain of materials was discussed.

Ratcheting and fatigue damage of thin-walled tube under cyclic bending and steady internal pressure is studied. Chaboche's nonlinear kinematic hardening model extended by considering the effect of continuum damage mechanics employed to predict ratcheting. Lemaitre damage model [Lemaitre, J. and Desmorat, R. [2005] Engineering Damage Mechanics (Springer-Verlag, Berlin)] which is appropriate for low cyclic loading is used. Also the evolution features of whole-life ratcheting behavior and low cycle fatigue (LCF) damage of the tube are discussed. A simplified method related to the thin-walled tube under bending and internal pressure is used and compared well with experimental results. Bree's interaction diagram with boundaries between shakedown and ratcheting zone is determined. Whole-life ratcheting of thin-walled tube reduces obviously with increase of internal pressure.
