Residual stresses in a finite cylinder. Direct and inverse problems and their solving using the variational method of homogeneous solutions

Mathematical models and methods for determination of axisymmetric residual stresses in a finite cylinder are considered. The model of residual stresses is built using the conception of incompatible eigenstrain tensor. Within the frame of this model, a direct problem for residual stresses determination is formulated. A method based on the variational method of homogeneous solutions is developed for solving the direct problem. Using the obtained solution, features of residual stresses, caused by continuous and piece-wise homogeneous distributions of eigenstrain components are studied.
