Description of the Expansion of a Two-Layer Tube: An Analytic Plane-Strain Solution for Arbitrary Pressure-Independent Yield Criterion and Hardening Law

The main objective of the present paper is to provide a simple analytical solution for describing the expansion of a two-layer tube under plane-strain conditions for its subsequent use in the preliminary design of hydroforming processes. Each layer’s constitutive equations are an arbitrary pressure-...
