An approximate method has been presented for the design analysis of engineering components subjected to combined cyclic thermal and mechanical loading. The method is based on the discretization of components using multibar modelling which enables the effects of stress redistribution to be included as creep and cyclic plasticity damage evolves. Cycle jumping methods have also been presented which extend previous methods to handle problems in which incremental plastic straining (ratchetting) occurs. Cycle jumping leads to considerable reductions in computer CPU (central processing unit) resources, and this has been shown for a range of loading conditions. The cycle jumping technique has been utilized to analyse the ratchetting behaviour of a multibar structure selected to model geometrical and thermomechanical effects typically encountered in practical design situations. The method has been used to predict the behaviour of a component when subjected to cyclic thermal loading, and the results compared with those obtained from detailed finite element analysis. The method is also used to analyse the same component when subjected to constant mechanical loading, in addition to cyclic thermal loading leading to ratchetting. The important features of the two analyses are then compared. In this way, the multibar modelling is shown to enable the computationally efficient analysis of engineering components.

The shakedown behaviour of a thin cylinder subject to constant pressure and cyclic thermal loading is described by the well known Bree diagram. In this paper, the shakedown and ratchetting behaviour of a thin cylinder, a thick cylinder and a thick cylinder with a radial crosshole is investigated by inelastic finite element analysis. Load interaction diagrams identifying regions of elastic shakedown, plastic shakedown and ratchetting are presented. The interaction diagrams for the plain cylinders are shown to be similar to the Bree Diagram. Incorporating the radial crossbore in the thick cylinder significantly reduces the plastic shakedown boundary on the interaction diagram but does not significantly affect the ratchet boundary. The radial crosshole can therefore be regarded as a local structural discontinuity and neglected when determining the maximum shakedown or (primary plus secondary stress) load in Design by Analysis.
