Abstract
This paper presents a theoretical study of the stresses in an infinite circular solid cylinder subjected to rapid surface heating and cooling. A quasistatic, uncoupled, thermoelastoplastic analysis based on the incremental theory of plasticity is formulated, and a numerical procedure is developed for a method of successive elastic solutions. The material of the cylinder is assumed to have temperature-dependent properties and to be characterized by the Romberg-Osgood stress-strain relation. The transient and residual stress distributions are discussed in detail, along with variations of the equivalent stress and plastic strain with time.
