Elastic-plastic state at a point in the wall of a torispherical pressure vessel under increasing internal pressure

This and the next several slides are from the paper, "A strategy for the solution of problems involving large deflections plasticity and creep", by David Bushnell, International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Vol. 11, pp.683-708, 1977, called "1977 strategy paper" in the next several slides.

This slide shows Fig. 2 from the 1977 strategy paper.

Shown here are paths followed in stress space (top frame) and strain space (bottom frame) by a material point in an internally pressurized torispherical vessel head of mild steel. These results are produced by BOSOR5.
