... the universal testing machine, and Bilinear Kinematic Hardening rate-independent plasticity model characterises the elastic-plastic response of the materials. Findings The numerical result shows that there is no plastic deformation at the interference regions, and the maximum equivalent strain happens...

... led researchers not to confine themselves to the customary elastic regime but attracted their attention to the elastic-plastic regime. These days in nuclear industry, cylinders subjected to external pressure have become a point of interest due to their application to advanced small and medium-size...
