This paper presents analysis and experimental research on an autofrettaged pressure vessel with a cone and cylinder connection. Non-linear loading stresses and strains and the unloading residual stresses and strains are considered. The residual stress and strain fields are obtained by the non-linear axisymmetric boundary element method (BEM). The results of the BEM are verified by means of the finite element method (FEM) program ADINA and compared with autofrettaged high pressure experiments. It is concluded that the calculated residual strains are in reasonable agreement with those determined experimentally.
