EMA 405: Homework 11

Nonlinear Analysis of Plastic Deformation


Your report for each problem should include:
• Problem statement: your interpretation of the question with all inputs
• Mesh information: comment on element type, mesh error metric, picture of mesh
• Boundary Conditions: comment on symmetry, fixed displacements / rotations
• Loading: external forces, moments, pressures…. Include figure showing loading
• Solution: include requested stress information with figuring showing stress location
• Discussion: Comment on results. Do they make sense?
• Appendix: Hand calculations / Sanity checks

A thick walled pipe is subjected to an internal pressure such that yielding occurs throughout the
entire cross sectional area. Assume that this cross section of the pipe is in plane stress, so that we
can model it using 2D analysis.

The pipe material is assumed to behave as bilinear-kinematic hardening with a yield stress of
150MPa. The initial modulus is 200GPa and the tangent modulus after yielding is 2GPa. Assume
a Poisson’s ratio of 0.3. Include a figure of the ANSYS stress-strain curve in your report.

Answer the following questions and provide stress figures


— At what pressure will yielding first occur, and where does yielding first occur?
— What fraction of the cylinder area yields when the pressure increases to 1.2 times the
yield pressure?
— At what pressure does the entire area yield?
— What happens if we remove the pressure after the entire area has just yielded? This
should leave the pipe in a state of residual stress. Make sure to indicate compression
and/or tension on your residual stress plots.

Inner radius = 20cm


Outer radius = 30cm

The figure on the right shows radial and hoop stresses for an internally pressurized thick walled
pipe.
