Plastic Analysis and Pressure--Vessel Safety,

Abstract

The role of plasticity theory in the design or analysis of pressure vessels is considered. It is shown that the theory is helpful in predicting some but not all of the possible causes of pressure-vessel failure. Various models for plasticity theory are discussed. The current state of technology in this field is surveyed and some indications are given for future lines of research. (Author)
