The objective of this paper is to provide guidance for the design of the thick-walled cylinder made up of transversely isotropic material so that collapse of cylinder due to influence of internal and external pressure can be avoided. The concept of transition theory based on Lebesgue strain measure has been used to simplify the constitutive equations. Results have been analyzed theoretically and discussed numerically. From this analysis, it has been concluded that, under the influence of internal and external pressure, circular cylinder made up of transversely isotropic material (beryl) is on the safer side of the design as compared to the cylinders made up of isotropic material (steel). This is because of the reason that percentage increase in effective pressure required for initial yielding to become fully plastic is high for beryl as compared to steel which leads to the idea of “stress saving” that reduces the possibility of collapse of thick-walled cylinder due to internal and external pressure.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide the guidance on a design and integrity evaluation of a cylinder under pressure, for which stress analysis has been done for transversely isotropic thick-walled circular cylinder under internal and external pressure with thermal effects. Design/methodology/approach – Transition theory has been used to evaluate plastic stresses based on the concept of generalized principal Lebesgue strain measure which simplifies the constitutive equations and helps to achieve better agreement between the theoretical and experimental results. Findings – It can be concluded that circular cylinder with thermal effects under internal and external pressure made of isotropic material (steel) is on the safer side of the design as compared to the cylinder made of transversely isotropic material (i.e. magnesium and beryl) because percentage increase in effective pressure required for initial yielding to become fully plastic is high for isotropic material (steel) as compared to transversely isotropic material (i.e. magnesium and beryl). It can also be concluded that out of two transversely isotropic materials, beryl is better choice for design of cylinder as compared to magnesium material because percentage increase in effective pressure required for initial yielding to become fully plastic is high for beryl as compared to magnesium. Originality/value – A detailed investigation of thermal transversely isotropic thick-walled circular cylinder under internal and external pressure has been done which leads to the idea of “stress saving” that minimizes the possibility of fracture of cylinder.

Elastic-plastic transitional stresses in a transversely isotropic thick-walled cylinder subjected to internal pressure and steady-state temperature have been derived by using Seth's transition theory. The combined effects of pressure and temperature has been presented graphically and discussed. It has been observed that at room temperature, thick-walled cylinder made of isotropic material yields at a high pressure at the internal surface as compared to cylinder made of transversely isotropic material. With the introduction of thermal effects isotropic/transversely isotropic cylinder yields at a lower pressure whereas cylinder made of isotropic material requires less percentage increase in pressure to become fully-plastic from its initial yielding as compared to cylinder made of transversely isotropic material.

Safety analysis has been done for thick-walled circular cylinder under internal and external pressure using transition theory which is based on the concept of generalized principal Lebesgue strain measure. Results have been analyzed theoretically and discussed numerically. From the analysis, it can be concluded that circular cylinder made of functionally graded material is on the safer side of the design as compared to homogeneous cylinder with internal and external pressure, which leads to the idea of “stress saving” that minimizes the possibility of fracture of cylinder.

To understand the dynamic response of transversely isotropic material under explosion load, the analysis is done with the help of ABAQUS software and the constitutive equations of transversely isotropic material with different angle of isotropic section. The result is given: when the angle of isotropic section is settled, the velocity and acceleration of measure points decrease with the increasing distance from the explosion borehole. The velocity and acceleration in the loading direction are larger than those in the normal direction of the loading direction and their attenuation are much faster. When the angle of isotropic section is variable, the evolution curves of peak velocity and peak acceleration in the loading direction with the increasing angles are notching parabolic curves. They get their minimum values when the angle is equal to 45 degree. But the evolution curves of peak velocity and peak acceleration in the normal direction of the loading direction with the increasing angles are overhead parabolic curves. They get their maximum values when the angle is equal to 45 degree.

Kevlar® KM2 fiber is a transversely isotropic material. Its tensile stress-strain response in the axial direction is linear and elastic until failure. However, the overall deformation in the transverse directions is nonlinear and nonelastic, although it can be treated linearly and elastically in infinitesimal strain range. For a linear, elastic, and transversely isotropic material, five material constants are needed to describe its stress-strain response. In this paper, stress-strain behavior obtained from experiments on a single Kevlar KM2 fiber are presented and discussed. The effects of loading rate and the influence of axial loading on transverse and transverse loading on axial stress-strain responses are also discussed.
