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 theory for elastic-plastic deformation with finite elastic strain is outlined. The results of this theory are specialized to consider a metal subjected to high hydrostatic pressure which produces finite elastic volume change. Drucker’s postulate is used to obtain the form of the yield condition and the associated plastic flow rule.

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.

It is shown that the isotropic material behaviour assumed in the classical incremental theory has two distinct implications, one for elastic deformation and another one for plastic deformation. This inconsistency has been removed by modifying the plastic-flow rule. The modified constitutive relation is used to calculate bifurcation stress in elastic-plastic plates under uniaxial compression. The bifurcation model used in the analysis is a generalized version of Shanley’s model – here restriction is placed on the amplitude of perturbation as opposed to restriction on the increase or rate of traction imposed in conventional analysis. The bifurcation stress thus obtained is significantly lower than the corresponding stress obtained from the classical incremental theory.

Plasticity in shells is often contained near the ends of a segment where the bending stresses are significant. Outside of this local neighborhood the behavior is elastic. Thus, an axisymmetric shell can be divided along its axis into a purely elastic region away from an end and the local region where plasticity is present. The moment-curvature relation in the elastic-plastic region is calculated using the Tresca yield condition. Use of the Tresca yield condition greatly simplifies this derivation because the principal directions are known. This moment-curvature relationship is “exact” in the sense that only the standard assumptions of thin shell theory are made. The solutions of the elastic and plastic regions are matched at their intersection for an efficient numerical solution. The technique is used here to study the semi-infinite clamped cylindrical shell with an internal pressure loading.

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.

The elastic-plastic solution for an infinitely long cylindrical shell with an axisymmetric ring load is presented. Except for the material nonlinearity, the standard assumptions of small deflection shell theory were made. Because the principal directions are known for the axisymmetric problem, the Tresca yield condition wasused. This made it possible to obtain closed-form expressions for the elastic-plastic, moment-curvature relations, greatly simplfying the computational task. The actual stress distribution through the thickness was used, making these relations exact. Yielding was contained near the load. Thus, for the analysis the cylinder was divided along its axis into elastic-plastic and purely elastic regions. Solutions were obtained for each region which were then matched at their intersection to give the complete solution. All results are given in dimensionless form so that they may be applied to any shell.

The theory of a previous paper which was designed for nonhardening plastic deformation of simple and compound cylinders in axisymmetric generalized plane strain is extended to include linear strain hardening in the plastic range. The method, which is limited to small strains, uses a modified Tresca yield condition and assumes incompressibility for both the plastic and the elastic ranges.

Abstract The paper is concerned with the limits of economy of material in a simply supported circular plate under a uniformly distributed transverse load. The plate material is supposed to be plastic-rigid and to obey Tresca’s yield condition and the associated flow rule. The criterion of failure adopted is that used in limit analysis. It is shown that the plate of uniform thickness has a weight efficiency of about 82 per cent. Stepped plates of segmentwise constant thickness are discussed, and the plate of continuously varying thickness is treated as the limiting case obtained by letting the number of steps go to infinity.

This study investigates the elastic-plastic behavior of a shallow spherical shell loaded radially through a flexible cylindrical nozzle. Both the sphere and the cylinder can yield and exhibit plastic deformation. The Tresca yield condition is employed to derive elastic-plastic moment-curvature relationship in a simple form which is implemented in an efficient solution scheme. Three geometric parameters represent the relative dimensions of the structure. Numerical results are obtained for a range of values of these parameters. Various situations involving the failure of the sphere and/or the cylinder are studied. The ultimate or failure loads of the structure are plotted as functions of the geometric parameters.
