Reference Volume Consideration in the mα-Tangent Method Based Linear Elastic Analysis
Keyword(s):
Limit loads for pressure components are determined on the basis of a single linear elastic finite element analysis by invoking the concept of kinematically active (reference) volume in the context of the “mα-tangent” method. The resulting technique enables rapid determination of lower bound limit load for pressure components by eliminating the kinematically inactive volume. This method is applied to a number of practical components with different percentages of inactive volume. The results are compared with the corresponding inelastic finite element results, or available analytical solutions.
