Additional information
The key finding of the work is that for constrained thick-wall cylinders, the maximum tensile principal stress can vanish at a particular Poisson’s ratio and aspect ratio. This phenomenon is exploited along with auxeticity to develop an optimized design criterion for thick-wall cylinders. This has been adopted for safety case design in two collaborative projects funded by Sellafield Ltd. It also has significance in the design of new, generation IV nuclear reactor pressure vessels.
