Elastic-Plastic Transition of Non-Homogeneous Thick-walled Cylinder under External Pressure

Elastic-plastic stresses have been obtained for a thick-walled circular cylinder under external pressure using Seth’s transition theory. Results have been computed numerically and depicted graphically. From the numerical results, it has been observed that homogeneous cylinder is on the safer side of the design. Also highly compressible circular cylinder made of homogeneous/ non-homogeneous material is on the safer side of the design.
