Abstract
Thick-walled cylindrical vessels are specially used in oil, chemical, nuclear and military industries in order to withstand internal pressure. The presence of the compressive residual stress in the walls increases the bursting pressure and fatigue life. Autofrettage processes and radial interference in multilayer cylinders are among the conventional methods of creating residual stresses in the pressure vessels. In order to achieve higher strength and fatigue life, the combination of these processes is also considered. J integral method is a suitable criterion for evaluating the crack parameters in elastic and elastoplastic strain fields. In this research, distribution of the J integral along the semi-elliptical crack front on the inner surface of the interferenced two-layered cylinder with closed end has been studied. Inner layer was autofrettaged. Burst pressure was determined based on the fracture toughness criterion (JΙC). Also, the effects of the autofrettage percent, radial interference; depth, angle and aspect ratio of the crack on the J integral and burst pressure variations have been investigated. The inner and outer layers of the cylinder were made of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. The periodic nonlinear hardening behavior of this alloy has been predicted using Chabooche model. The validity of the results and their accuracy were examined
