The boundary integral equation (BIE) method for two-dimensional elastic-plastic stress analysis is applied to an internally pressurized thick-walled cylinder containing a radial crack. Two different types of material are considered, namely, an elastic-perfectly plastic material and a work-hardening material. The loading conditions applied include the case when the internal pressure also acts on the crack faces, and the case when it does not. Results are presented showing the plastic zone development in the cylinder and the variations of the fracture mechanics parameter, the J line integral, with increasing internal pressure.

A thin-walled cylinder subjected to a continuous internal pressure and an alternating axial deformation is shown to exhibit ratchetting. This ratchetting manifests itself as a growth in the diameter of the cylinder and a reduction in its wall thickness. For an elastic-perfectly-plastic material the ratchetting rates are established and the boundaries of ratchetting behaviour determined. These ratchetting rates are compared with the results from a simple experiment and other available data. It is noted that the analysis is very sensitive to the yield criterion adopted.

Limit loads for a thick-walled cylinder with an internal or external fully circumferential surface crack under pure axial load are derived on the basis of the von Mises yield criterion. The solutions reproduce the existing thin-walled solution when the ratio between the cylinder wall thickness and the inside radius tends to zero. The solutions are compared with published finite element limit load results for an elastic–perfectly plastic material. The comparison shows that the theoretical solutions are conservative and very close to the finite element data.

Abstract This paper is concerned with a compressible elastic-plastic wedge of an included angle β < π/2 in the state of plane strain. The solution, deduced for an isotropic nonwork-hardening material, employs Tresca’s yield criterion and the associated flow rules. By means of a numerical example the solution is compared with that of an incompressible elastic-plastic wedge in one case (β = π/4) for various positions of the elastic-plastic boundary.

In the past, shakedown evaluation was usually based on the elastic method that the sum of the primary and secondary stress should be limited to 3Sm or the simplified elastic-plastic analysis method. The elastic method is just an approximate analysis, and the rigorous evaluation of shakedown normally requires an elastic-plastic analysis. In this paper, using an elastic perfectly plastic material model, the shakedown analysis was performed by a series of elastic-plastic analyses. Taking a shell with a nozzle subjected to parameterized temperature loads as an example, the impact of temperature change on the shakedown load was discussed and the shakedown loads of this structure at different temperature change rates were also obtained. This study can provide helpful references for engineering design.

Aluminium alloys are nonlinear metallic materials with continuous stress-strain curves that are not well represented by the simplified elastic, perfectly plastic material model used in many current design specifications. Departing from current practice, the continuous strength method (CSM) is a recently proposed design approach for non-slender aluminium alloy structures with consideration of strain hardening. The CSM is deformation based and employs a base curve to define a continuous relationship between cross-section slenderness and deformation capacity. This paper explains the background and the two key components - (1) the base curve and (2) the strain hardening material model of the continuous strength method. More than 500 test results are used to verify the continuous strength methodas an accurate and consistent design method for aluminium alloy structures.

To save material, the safety factor of pressure vessel design standards is gradually decreased from 5.0 to 2.4 in ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Codes. So the design methods of pressure vessel should be more rationalized. Considering effects of material strain hardening and non-linear structural deformation, the elastic-plastic stress analysis is the most suitable for pressure vessels design at present. This paper is based on elastic-plastic theory and considers material strain hardening and structural deformation effects. Elastic-plastic stress analyses of pressure vessels are summarized. Firstly, expressions of load and structural deformation relationship were introduced for thin-walled cylindrical and spherical vessels under internal pressure. Secondly, the plastic instability for thin-walled cylindrical and spherical vessels under internal pressure were analysed. Thirdly, to prevent pressure vessels from local failure, the ductile fracture strain of materials was discussed.

In this technical brief, we compute the J-integral near a crack-tip in an elastic-perfectly-plastic material. Finite deformation is accounted for, and the apparent discrepancies between the prior results of the authors are resolved.

It is shown that initial and boundary-value problems involving high-speed elastic-plastic deformation with spherical symmetry can be solved using a finite-difference numerical technique. Numerical solutions for the dynamic expansion of a spherical cavity under a constant pressure are presented to demonstrate the nature and capability of the numerical scheme. While the solution for an elastic material agrees closely with the exact one, the solution for an elastic, perfectly plastic material also receives support from Green’s analytic predictions concerning the motion of the elastic-plastic boundary. At large times, the asymptotic solution of the dynamic elastic-plastic problem is different from the quasi-static solution. This result indicates that the concept of quasi-static approximation may not hold in dynamic plasticity. A nonlinear dependence of the plastic solution on the boundary condition is also observed.

In this paper, an elastic–plastic analytical method is proposed to predict the cyclic deformation of the fully clamped square plates made of elastic–perfectly plastic material under repeated quasi-static uniform pressure. The whole process can be divided into the loading and unloading phases. The loading phase is formulated as three separate regimes: the elastic regime, the mixed elastic–plastic regime and the fully plastic regime. Unloading from a status in each phase is modeled as an elastic process. The total and elastic strain energies are characterized by the loading and unloading paths together with the displacement profiles, respectively. It is theoretically revealed that the elastic strain energy and the structural stiffness of the plate increase with the increasing transverse deflection. In addition, the effect of material elasticity is highlighted in the scenario of repeated loadings. The theoretical results are validated against the numerical simulations conducted by the commercial software ABAQUS. It is shown that the proposed elastic–plastic theoretical model has reasonable accuracy and can be employed to predict pressure–deflection relationship for this class of problems.
