Suppression of Brazier Effect in Multilayered Cylinders
Figure 1
(a) Schematic of the Brazier effect. Bending application to a hollow cylinder of circular section gives rise to the stresses indicated by arrows colored in red and blue. The compressive (red arrow) and tensile (blue) stresses act at a certain angle to the unrotated section, as a result of which the original circular shape deforms into an oval or flattened shape. (b) Definition of the oblateness parameter .
