Based on Melan’s theorem, an improved numerical solution procedure for evaluating shakedown loads by non-linear superposition method is presented, and the relationship between the classical non-linear programming formulation of shakedown problem and the numerical method is disclosed. The stress term in classical optimization problem is replaced by the element bearing-ratio (EBR) in the procedure, and series of residual EBR fields can be generated by the D-value of the elastic-plastic EBR fields and the elastic EBR fields at every incremental loading step. The shakedown load is determined by performing the incremental non-linear static analysis when the yield criterion is arrived either by the elastic-plastic EBR fields or residual EBR fields. By introducing the EBR, the proposed procedure can be easily used to those complex structures with multi-material and complicated configuration. The procedure is described in detail and some numerical results, that show the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed method, are reported and discussed.

The elastic-plastic delamination fracture in layered beams was studied theoretically. Two Four Point Bend (FPB) beam configurations (the Double Leg Four Point Bend (DLFPB) and the Single Leg Four Point Bend (SLFPB)) were analyzed. An elastic-plastic constitutive model with power law hardening was used in the analysis. Fracture behavior was studied by applying the J-integral approach. The analytical solutions of the J-integral were obtained at characteristic levels of the external load. The solutions obtained were verified by analyzing the strain energy release rate with taking into account the material non-linearity. The variation of J-integral value in a function of crack location along the beam dept was investigated. The effect of material non-linearity on the fracture was evaluated. The analysis revealed that the J-integral value decreased with increasing the lower crack arm thickness. It was also found that the material non-linearity has to be taken into account in fracture mechanics based safety design of structural members and components made of layered materials. The analytical solutions obtained are very useful for non-linear investigations, since the simple formulae derived capture the essentials of non-linear fracture in the layered beams under consideration.

Thermal elastic-plastic stresses and strains have been obtained for rotating annular disk by using finite difference method with Von-Mises? yield criterion and non-linear strain hardening measure. The compressibility of the disk is assumed to be varying in the radial direction. From the numerical results, we can conclude that thermal rotating disk made of functionally graded material whose thickness decreases exponentially and density increases exponentially with non-linear strain hardening measure (m = 0.2) is on the safe side of the design as compared to disk made of homogenous material. This is because of the reason that circumferential stress is less for functionally graded disk as compared to homogenous disk. Also, plastic strains are high for functionally graded disk as compared to homogenous disk. It means that disk made of functionally graded material reduces the possibility of fracture at the bore as compared to the disk made of homogeneous material which leads to the idea of stress saving.

When compared with carbon steel, stainless steel exhibits a more pronounced non-linearity and no well-defined yield plateau, as well as appealing features such as aesthetics, higher corrosion resistance and lower life cycle cost. Due to its considerably high ductility/strength and cost, stainless steel structural solutions tend to be adopted mostly for slender/light structures, thus rendering the assessment of their structural behaviour rather complex, chiefly because of the high susceptibility to instability phenomena. The first objective of this paper is to present the main concepts and procedures involved in the development of a geometrically and physically non-linear Generalised Beam Theory (GBT) formulation and numerical implementation (code), intended to analyse the behaviour and collapse of thin-walled members made of materials with a highly non-linear stress-strain curve (e.g., stainless steel or aluminium). The second objective is to validate and illustrate the application of the proposed GBT formulation, by comparing its results (equilibrium paths, ultimate loads, deformed configurations, displacement profiles and stress distributions) with those provided by shell finite element analyses of two lean duplex square hollow section (SHS) columns previously investigated, both experimentally and numerically, by Theofanous and Gardner [1]. The stainless steel material behaviour is modelled as non-linear isotropic and the GBT analysis includes initial geometrical imperfections, but neglects corner strength enhancements and membrane residual stresses. It is shown that the GBT unique modal nature makes it possible to acquire in-depth knowledge concerning the mechanics of the column behaviour, by providing “structural x-rays” of the (elastic or elastic-plastic) equilibrium configurations: modal participation diagrams showing the quantitative contributions of the global, local, warping shear and transverse extension deformation modes moreover, this feature makes it possible to exclude, from future similar GBT analyses, those deformation modes found to play a negligible role in the mechanics of the behaviour under scrutiny, thus further reducing the number of degrees of freedom involved in a GBT analysis, i.e., increasing its computational efficiency.

Introduction: This paper reviews the analytical method of assessing the seismic and extreme load resistance of buildings with a complex macrostructure that includes elastic-plastic inserts operating in shear. Methods: We analyze a number of studies that rationalize the choice of models for simulating complex elastic-plastic deformation in a mechanical system with several degrees of freedom, as well as studies that review the durability and resilience of buildings with a complex macrostructure based on non-linear shear links when subjected to dynamic and extreme impact. We also consider the methods of structural analysis regarding buildings with elastic-plastic inserts, accounting for the plastic hinged joints of metal frames. Results: We apply the analytical method to linear and non-linear systems with n degrees of freedom. We propose a mathematical equation that describes the nature of shear link response to seismic and extreme loads. Our method makes it possible to obtain an analytical solution for structures with proportionate and disproportionate damping by using the direct integration algorithm. Discussion: Most structures with a broad range of construction material properties require a disproportionate damping model. In this study, we solve equations by using the direct integration algorithm based on disproportionate damping. Under high dynamic load, the reinforcement of shear inserts operates in a plastic state.

This study involves the analysis of elastic-plastic-damage dynamics of one-dimensional structures comprising of periodic materials. These structures are composed by multilayer unit cells with different materials. The dynamical characteristics of the composite material present distinct frequency ranges where wave propagation is blocked. The steady-state forced analyses are conducted on a structure constructed from a periodic inelasticity material. The material models have a linear dependence for elasticity problems and non-linear for elastoplasticity-damage problems. This paper discusses the pass and stop-band dispersive behavior of material models on temporal and spatial domains. For this purpose, some structural problems are composed of periodic and damping materials for analysis of vibration suppression have been simulated. This work brings a formulation of Galerkin method for one-dimensional elastic-plastic-damage problems. A time-stepping algorithm for non-linear dynamics is also presented. Numerical treatment of the constitutive models is developed by the use of return-mapping algorithm. For spatial discretization the standard finite element method is used. The procedure proposed in this work can be extended to multidimensional problems, analysis of strain localization, and for others material models.

Fatigue life estimation of notched components is mostly dependent on notch stress and strain calculation with non-linear finite element analysis (FEA). For multiaxial cyclic loading, the stress-strain analysis of notch root is rather complex and the non-linear FEA is also very time-consuming. In this paper, a new fatigue life prediction method for notched components under multiaxial loading is proposed. First, a linear elastic solution needs to be solved for notched components under multiaxial cyclic loading. Then, an elastic equivalent parameter is computed using the linear elastic solution. On the basis of the elastic equivalent parameter combined with the Neuber’s rule, an elastic-plastic equivalent parameter is obtained. Finally, the elastic-plastic equivalent parameter is used to estimate fatigue crack initiation life of notched components. The proposed method needs only elastically calculated notch strain history as the basic input and is convenient for engineering application. The method is verified with experimental data of SAE 1045 notched shaft specimens under proportional and non-proportional loading. The results showed that the method can provide good life estimates.
