commentaries are given by Osage , in paragraph 5.5.7. A
sample problem was provided by Sowinski, Osage, and

Figure 3: Cyclic increase of radius 5.5.7.2c): STEP 3 An elastic-perfectly plastic [EPP]
material model shall be used in the analysis. The von Mises
yield function and associated flow rule should be utilized. The
yield strength defining the plastic limit shall be the minimum
10.1 specified yield strength at temperature from Annex 3.D. The
effects of non-linear geometry shall be considered in the
analysis.

In order to identify the critical pressure boundary for Figure 13: Contour of U plotted on undeformed and
collapse, limit analysis for the applied pressure is performed deformed shell geometry after 15 temperature cycles between
first. The limit pressure of 0.954 MPa (0.138 ksi) is obtained. 371 C and 21C
The limit state is shown in Figure 12. It identifies the bottom
plate as the critical pressure boundary.
