Behaviour of Viscoelastic-Viscoplastic Spheres and Cylinders-Partly Plastic Vessels walls
The material model consists of a viscoelastic Burgers element and an additional viscoplastic Bingham element when the effective stress exceeds the yield stress. For partly plastic vessel walls, expressions are derived for the stress and strain state in pressurised or relaxation loaded thick-walled cylinders in plane strain and spheres. For the spherical problem, the material compressibility is acc
