In this video, a container made of rolled steel is subjected to an internal overpressure. As an effect of the manufacturing method, one of the three material principal directions—the out-of-plane direction— has a higher yield stress than the other two. Hill’s orthotropic plasticity is used to model the differences in yield strength.
