In this paper, the internally pressure overloading autofrettage process of a thick-walled cylinder has been numerically investigated. The corresponding axi-symmetric and plane-stress finite element model has been employed. The elasto-plastic material model with nonlinear strain-hardening and kinematic hardening (the Bauschinger effect) was adopted. The residual stresses in the thick-walled cylinder induced by internal autofrettage pressure have been investigated and optimized. The optimum autofrettage pressure and the maximum reduction percentage of the von Mises stress in the autofrettaged thick-walled cylinder under the elastic-limit working pressure have been found, the differences of stress and strain distribution between adopting the Bauschinger-effect and the non-Bauschinger-effect have been compared.
