Pullout Loads

The vertical uplift resistance of horizontal plate anchors embedded in sand has been computed for inclined and eccentric pullout loads. The analysis has been performed by using the lower-bound theorem of the limit analysis in combination with finite element and second-order cone programming (SOCP). The methodology is based on the Mohr–Coulomb yield criterion and the associated flow rule. Several combinations of the eccentricity (e) and vertical inclinations (α) of the resultant pullout loads have been considered. The computations have revealed that the magnitude of the vertical uplift resistance decreases with an increase in the values of both e and α. The reduction of vertical pullout resistance with eccentricity and inclination becomes more prominent for smaller values of embedment ratio. The anchor–soil roughness angle (δ) hardly affects the uplift capacity factor as long as the value of α remains smaller than δ.

In many cavities, resulting from both natural excavation and anthropic action, the phenomenon of the collapse of blocks from the cavity roof presents a serious safety hazard. In a previous publication the authors proposed a method to calculate the shape and dimensions of the collapsing block by means of the upper bound theorem of the plasticity theory. The soft rock material was modelled by means of the Mohr–Coulomb yield criterion, and the associated flow rule was considered for strain plastic velocity. The linear yield criterion was suitably regularized by means of a circle in the tensile zone. The boundary of the collapsing block is described by a paraboloid surface. An optimization procedure formulated in standard Kuhn–Tucker form and an analytical solution were obtained. The above-mentioned algorithm has been successfully applied to common soils of southern Italy. To validate the theoretical formulation, several numerical tests are performed. These tests show an optimal agreement with the closed-form solution. Therefore the proposed modelling may be used as an efficient guideline for the cavity-strengthening design.Key words: roof stability, regularized Mohr–Coulomb material, limit analysis, failure mechanics.

Using Tresca's yield criterion and its associated flow rule, solutions are obtained for the stresses and strains when a thick-walled tube is subject to internal pressure and subsequent unloading. A bilinear hardening material model in which allowances are made for a Bauschinger effect is adopted. A variable elastic range and different rates under forward and reversed deformation are assumed. Prager's translation law is obtained as a particular case. The solutions are practically analytic. However, a numerical technique is necessary to solve transcendental equations. Conditions are expressed for which the release is purely elastic and elastic–plastic. The importance of verifying conditions under which the Tresca theory is valid is emphasized. Possible numerical difficulties with solving equations that express these conditions are highlighted. The effect of kinematic hardening law on the validity of the solutions found is demonstrated.

The plane state of stress in an elastic-plastic rotating anisotropic annular disk is studied. To incorporate the effect of anisotropy on the plastic flow, Hill’s quadratic orthotropic yield criterion and its associated flow rule are adopted. A semi-analytical solution is obtained. The solution is illustrated by numerical calculations showing various aspects of the influence of plastic anisotropy on the stress distribution in the rotating disk.

Solutions are obtained for the large plastic deformations of a cylindrical membrane with rigid end closures subjected to an internal pressure loading. A plastic linearly hardening material obeying Tresca’s yield criterion and the associated flow rule is considered. It is found that, in general, a shell passes through three stages of deformation, finally assuming a spherical shape. The instability pressure (maximum pressure) may be reached in any of the stages depending on the length/diameter ratio of the shell and the hardening modulus of the material. Although numerical integration is required to obtain solutions for shells in the first stages of deformation, the solution in the final stage is given in closed form.

The paper concerns with three-dimensional analysis of the process of bending under tension for incompressible, rigid viscoplastic material at large strains. The constitutive equations consist of the Mises-type yield criterion and its associated flow rule. No restriction is imposed on the dependence of the equivalent stress on the equivalent strain rate. The problem is reduced to evaluating ordinary integrals and solving transcendental equations.

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.

Abstract Rotational autofrettage is one of the recently proposed potential methods for eliminating the in-service yielding of thick-walled cylindrical pressure vessels. A few researchers have studied the feasibility of the process theoretically, and asserted certain advantages over the practicing hydraulic and swage autofrettage processes. In the literature, all theoretical analyses on the rotational autofrettage are based on the Tresca yield criterion and its associated flow rule, along with the assumption of different plane end conditions (plane strain and generalized plane strain). In this paper, an analysis of the rotational autofrettage of cylindrical vessel is attempted incorporating von Mises yield criterion. The plane strain condition is used for the analysis. A numerical shooting method is used to solve the governing differential equations providing the elastic-plastic stress distributions in the cylinder during loading. The present procedure is numerically experimented for a typical AH36 pressure vessel. It is found that the achievable level of the maximum stress pressure of the rotationally autofrettaged vessel is 74.46% higher than that of its non-autofrettaged counterpart for an overstrain level of 46.7%.

Tresca's yield criterion and the associated flow rule have been used to develop a solution for the plastic bulging of circular diaphragms by lateral fluid pressure. The strain distribution in the neighbourhood of the pole is derived in explicit form and a new formula is given for the polar strain at instability. The theory is found to be in good agreement with experimental results for the bulge test. A numerical method of solving the problem for Mises materials is also proposed.
