In this paper the problem of the elastic, plastic bending of a circular plate which is simply supported at its edge and carries a constant load over a central circular area is considered. The von Mises yield condition and the associated flow rule are assumed and the material of the plate is assumed to be nonhardening, elastic, perfectly plastic, and compressible. Stress fields are obtained in all cases and a velocity field is presented for the case of point loading. Some numerical results are given comparing the results obtained here with those obtained when the Tresca yield condition is assumed.

AbstractA finite element analysis indicates a good correlation between the Dugdale plastic strip model and a linear elastic/perfectly plastic material under plane stress loading conditions for a flow theory of plasticity based on the Tresca yield condition. A similar analysis under the von Mises yield condition reveals no plastic strip formation.

Design of connections of pipes and pressure vessels on the basis of a calculated maximum elastic stress often proves to be too conservative in the case of ductile materials. Elastic-plastic analysis by the finite element method proves to be too costly. This paper presents an alternative method which reduces the calculations to those of a rotationally symmetric shell subjected to axisymmetric loading. Using this approach approximate elastic-plastic deformations on the meridian passing through the crotch of a tee branch connection of cylindrical shells of equal diameter and thickness are determined. The method is limited to cases of the normal intersection of very thin shells of identical diameter, thickness, and material and to internal pressure loading. Numerical results for the intersection of two shells of R/t equal to 100 are given for an elastic-perfectly plastic material satisfying the von Mises yield condition.

A numerical method for the analysis of the isothermal elastic-plastic expansion, by internal pressure, of cylindrical tubes with various end conditions is presented. The Tresca yield condition and associated plastic flow rule are assumed and both non-hardening and work-hardening tubes are considered with account being taken of finite plastic deformation. Tubes which undergo further plastic deformation on unloading are also considered. Expansion of a cylindrical cavity from zero radius in an infinite medium is considered as a limiting case.

A unified method of approximating the response of rigid-plastic and elastic, perfectly plastic beams subjected to impulsive loading is described. The method is based on the uniqueness proof for such problems. A simply supported beam subjected to a uniform impulse is given as an illustrative example.

This paper presents the exact formulation and solution for the static flexural response of a rigid perfectly plastic freely floating plate subjected to lateral axisymmetric loading. The Tresca yield condition is adopted with the associated flow rule. The plate response is divided into three phases: Initially the plate moves downward into the foundation as a rigid body (Phase I). Subsequently the plate deforms in a conical mode in addition to the rigid body motion (Phase II). At a certain value of the load a hinge-circle forms which may move as the pressure increases further (Phase III). The nature of the solution during the third phase depends upon the parameter α = a/R (ratio of radius of loaded area to the plate radius). When α = αs≅ 0.46 the hinge-circle remains stationary under increasing load. For α < αs the hinge-circle shrinks, whereas for α > αs the hinge-circle expands with increasing pressure. The application of the present results to the problem of laterally loaded floating ice plates is discussed.

A thin circular disc of elastic-perfectly plastic material, subjected to an axially symmetric transient temperature distribution, is treated analytically. All material parameters are assumed to be independent of the temperature. Poisson's ratio is taken to be one-half. The Tresca yield condition with associated flow rule is employed. The temperature distribution is that which appears when the outer rim surface of the disc receives a rapid temperature increase and it is solved approximately by the collocation method. The analysis shows that under certain circumstances, plastic deformation will occur in a moving annular region. This region starts to develop at the exterior surface and moves inward, while changing its width. After a certain finite time its width shrinks to zero. Except for a residual constant state of strain, the strain field is then again elastic. An application to the method of separating the ring and the shaft in a shrink-fit is carried out numerically. The residual stresses in the ring are calculated.

Displacement field calculations are necessary for many structural steel engineering problems such as cold expansion of holes, embedment of bolts and rivets, and installation and maintenance of external devices. To this end, rigorous closed form analytical displacement solution is obtained for structural steel open-hole plates with in-plane loading. The material of the model is considered to be elastic perfectly plastic obeying the von Mises yield criterion with its associated flow rule. On the basis of this solution, two simplified engineering formulae are proposed and carefully discussed for practical engineering purposes. Graphical representations of results show validity of each formula as compared with rigorous solution and other studies.

A GBT formulation for 1st order elastoplastic analysis is presented and its application illustrated for a elastic-perfectly plastic simply supported I-setion beam subjected to point loads at mid-span. GBT results were validated against ABAQUS by means of shell finite element models. There is an excellent agreement in that comparison, particularlly regarding equilibrium paths and deformed configurations. With respect to stress diagrams, GBT results are very satisfactory for axial, shear and von Mises stresses, but distinct with respect to transverse normal stresses. However, the transverse normal stress 3D contours are qualitatively similar between GBT and ABAQUS in the whole beam domain.

A semi-analytical thermo-elastic-plastic contact model has been recently developed, and presented in a companion paper. The main advantage of this approach over the classical Finite Element Method (FEM) is the treatment of transient problems with the use of fine meshing, and the possibility of studying the effect of a surface defect on the surface deflection as well as on subsurface stress state. A return-mapping algorithm with an elastic predictor / plastic corrector scheme and a Von Mises criterion is now used, which improves the plasticity loop. This improvement in the numerical algorithm increases the computing speed significantly, and shows a much better convergence and accuracy. The contact model is validated through a comparison with the FEM results of Kogut and Etsion (2002), which correspond to the axisymmetric contact between an elastic-perfectly plastic sphere and a rigid flat. A model for wear prediction based on the material removal during cyclic loading is then proposed. Results are presented for rough surfaces.
