Cold Working of Cannon (Autofrettage). Part 1. Design Data 15-61-GX-OC

Abstract

In the design of cold-worked gun tubes and high-pressure vessels, the designer is confronted with a relatively large number of fairly complex formulas concerning the mechanics of thick hollow cylinders. To simplify their use, the Cold Work Station at Watertown Arsenal has found it convenient to tabulate these formulae on simple charts, and in addition, to present certain of them in curve form. This report presents a discussion of the general behavior of cylinders subjected to pressure. This report was expanded and organized to correspond to the four (4) distinct conditions or states of stress that could be encountered, namely: Elastic State; Theories Concerning Initial Yielding; Plastic State; and Rupture State.
