We consider the dynamic evolution of a linearly elastic-perfectly plastic thin plate subject to a purely vertical body load. As the thickness of the plate goes to zero, we prove that the three-dimensional evolutions converge to a solution of a certain reduced model. In the limiting model admissible displacements are of Kirchhoff–Love type. Moreover, the motion of the body is governed by an equilibrium equation for the stretching stress, a hyperbolic equation involving the vertical displacement and the bending stress, and a rate-independent plastic flow rule. Some further properties of the reduced model are also discussed.

Ansys software was used to carry out three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) for biomimetic design of harrowing discs based on the body surface morphology of soil burrowing animals like dung beetle (Dicranocara deschodt) which have non-smooth units such as convex domes and concave dips. The main objective was to find out the effects of different biomimetic surface designs on reducing soil resistance hence the horizontal force acting on the harrowing disc during soil deformation was determined. In this FEA, soil deformation was based on the Drucker–Prager elastic–perfectly plastic model which was applied only at the lowest disc harrowing speed of 4.4 km/h which is within the limits of model. The material non-linearity of soil was addressed using an incremental technique and inside each step, the Newton–Raphson iteration method was utilized. The model results were analyzed and then summation of horizontal forces acting on the soil-disc interface was also done. An experiment was then conducted in an indoor soil bin to validate the FEA results. The FEA results are generally in agreement with those of the indoor experiment with a difference of less than or equal to the acceptable 10% with an average difference of 4%. Overall, convex bionic units gave the highest resistance reduction of 19.5% from 1526.87 N to 1228.38 N compared to concave bionic units.

The present work presents plastic limit load solutions for branch junctions under internal pressure and in-plane bending, based on detailed three-dimensional (3-D) FE limit analyses using elastic-perfectly plastic materials. The proposed solutions are valid for a wide range of branch junction geometries; ratios of the branch-to-run pipe radius and thickness from 0.0 to 1.0, and the mean radius-to-thickness ratio of the run pipe from 5.0 to 20.0.

The present paper provides plastic limit load solutions for axial and circumferential through-wall cracked pipes based on detailed three-dimensional (3-D) finite element (FE) limit analysis using elastic-perfectly plastic behavior. As a loading condition, both single and combined loadings are considered. Being based on detailed 3-D FE limit analysis, the present solutions are believed to be valuable information for structural integrity assessment of cracked pipes.

This paper proposes plastic limit and collapse loads for circumferential through-wall cracked pipe bends under in-plane bending, based on three-dimensional finite element limit analyses. The material is assumed to be elastic-perfectly-plastic, but both the geometrically linear (small strain) and the geometrically nonlinear (large geometry change) options are employed. Regarding crack location, both extrados and intrados cracks are considered. Moreover, for practical application, closed-form approximations of plastic limit and collapse loads are proposed based on the FE results, and compared with corresponding solutions for straight pipes.

The dynamic response of one-way stiffened plates with clamped edges subjected to uniformly distributed blast-induced shock loading is theoretically investigated using a singly symmetric beam model. The beam model is based on the rigid-perfectly plastic assumption. The bending moment-axial force capacity interaction relation or yield curve for singly symmetric cross-section is derived and explicitly presented. The deflection condition that a plastic string response must satisfy is determined by the linearized interaction curve and associated plastic flow rule. Moreover, the possible motion mechanisms of the beam are discussed under different load intensity. Finally the dynamic response of a one-way stiffened plate is calculated theoretically and numerically. Good agreements are obtained between the presented theoretical results and those from numerical calculations of the FEM software ANSYS and ABAQUS/Explicit. It is concluded that the basic assumptions and approximations for simplifying calculations are reasonable and the beam model in theoretical analysis is adoptable. The example also shows that an arbitrary blast load can be replaced equivalently by a rectangular type pulse.

Based on three-dimensional (3-D) FE limit analyses, this paper provides plastic limit, collapse and instability load solutions for pipe bends under combined pressure and in-plane bending. The plastic limit loads are determined from FE limit analyses based on elastic-perfectly plastic materials using the small geometry change option, and the FE limit analyses using the large geometry change option provide plastic collapse loads (using the twice-elastic-slope method) and instability loads. For the bending mode, both closing bending and opening bending are considered, and a wide range of parameters related to the bend geometry is considered. Based on the FE results, closed-form approximations of plastic limit and collapse load solutions for pipe bends under combined pressure and bending are proposed.

The present work presents plastic limit load solutions for thin-walled branch junctions under internal pressure and in-plane bending, based on detailed three-dimensional (3-D) FE limit analyses using elastic-perfectly plastic materials. The proposed solutions are valid to ratios of the branch-to-run pipe radius and thickness from 0.0 to 1.0, and the mean radius-to-thickness ratio of the run pipe from 5.0 to 20.0. Comparison with FE results shows good agreement.

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.

Closed‐form yield loci are proposed for branch junctions under combined pressure and in‐plane bending, via small‐strain three‐dimensional finite element (FE) limit load analyses using elastic—perfectly plastic materials. Two types of bending loading are considered: bending on the branch pipe and that on the run pipe. For bending on the run pipe, the effect of the bending direction is further considered. Comparison with extensive FE results shows that predicted limit loads using the proposed solutions are overall conservative and close to FE results. The proposed solutions are believed to be valid for the branch‐to‐run pipe ratios of radius and of thickness from 0.0 to 1.0, and the mean radius‐to‐thickness ratio of the run pipe from 5.0 to 20.0.

This paper presents limit loads for circumferential cracked pipe bends under in-plane bending, based on detailed three-dimensional finite element limit analyses. FE analyses are performed based on elastic-perfectly-plastic materials and the geometrically linear assumption. Both through-wall cracks and part-through surface cracks (having constant depths) are considered, together with different crack locations (extrados and intrados). Based on the FE results, closed-form approximations are proposed for plastic limit loads of pipe bends. It is found that limit loads of pipe bends are smaller than those of straight pipes, but are close for deep and long cracks.
