On the Plastic Behavior of Rotating Cylinders

Abstract

Equations for strain and stress distribution in hollow rotating cylinders are developed. The deformations are considered to be of such magnitude, that the use of finite-strain theory is necessary. It is assumed that the relationship of true stress to true strain can be represented by a power relation. The three possible modes of plastic failure, namely, instability, cleavage, and shear fracture, are also discussed.
