Abstract
The fatigue failure of simple thick-walled cylinders under repeated internal pressure is considered with a view to establishing general criteria for failure which can be of use in design. The factors controlling the endurance limit and the limited life range are considered separately, utilising current thinking on the fatigue process. It is found that the fatigue behaviour of cylinders can be adequately predicted from conventional material fatigue data when the complexities of the elastic-plastic stress-strain state in a pressurised cylinder are taken into account. The importance of pressurising medium in assisting crack development is noted.
