Incremental method for shakedown analysis of the elastic perfectly plastic structures is based on the extremum energy principles and non-linear mathematical programming approach. Residual force increment calculation problem is developed applying minimum complementary deformation energy principle. The Rozen project gradient and equilibrium finite element methods were applied for solution. The Rozen optimality criterion (Kuhn-Tucker conditions) ensures compatibility of residual strains and allows plastic strain and residual displacement increment calculation without dual problem solution. The possibility to fix the structure cross-section unloading phenomenon during shakedown process was developed. The proposed technique is illustrated by annular bending plate residual force and deflection calculation examples, when the von Mises criterion is taken into account.

In this paper a total incremental method for solving nonlinear system equation due to plasticity of shear deformable plates is presented. The material is assumed to undergo small strains. The von Mises criterion is used to evaluate the plastic zone and elastic perfectly plastic material behaviour is assumed. An initial stress formulation is used to formulate the boundary integral equations. The domain integral due to material nonlinearity is evaluated using a cell discretization technique. Several examples are presented and comparisons are made to demonstrate the validity and the accuracy of the total incremental method to solve the nonlinear system of equation due to plasticity.

In this work, closed-form analytical solutions for the plasticity zone shape at the lip of a semi-infinite crack are developed. The material is assumed isotropic with a linear elastic-perfectly plastic constitution. The solutions have been developed for the cases of plane stress and plane strain. The three crack modes, mode I, II and III have been considered. Finally, prediction of the plasticity zone extent has been performed for both the Von Mises and Tresca yield criterion. Significant differences have been found between the plane stress and plane strain conditions, as well as between the three crack modes’ solutions. Also, significant differences have been found when compared to classical plasticity zone calculations using the Irwin approach.

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.

An elasto-plastic asperity contact model for layered media is developed in the work reported in this paper to analyze the influences of coating-substrate materials on contact when yielding and the strain-hardening properties of materials are taken into account. The finite element method, the initial stiffness method and the mathematical programming technique are employed to solve the model. The von Mises yield criterion is used to determine the inception of plastic deformation. The effects of different layer thickness and different coating-substrate materials on the contact pressure, real area of contact, average gap of rough surface, and stresses in layer and substrate under the elastic-perfectly-plastic and the elasto-plastic contact conditions are numerically investigated and discussed.

The accuracy of integration of the constitutive equations for an isotropic elastic-perfectly plastic von Mises material is examined. A strainrate vector of arbitrary direction, but constant in time, is imposed for an arbitrary duration on a material with an arbitrary initial stress state. An exact solution is presented and then used to compare the accuracy of three commonly used numerical methods. The simplistic radial return method is found to have reasonable single step accuracy. It is recommended for moderate accuracy requirements and the exact method for higher accuracy. The multistep error estimator based on the magnitude of the deviatoric trial stress is shown to be bad and a better estimator presented for the secant stiffness method.

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.

AbstractA finite element analysis indicates a good correlation between the Dugdale plastic strip model and a linear elastic/perfectly plastic material under plane stress loading conditions for a flow theory of plasticity based on the Tresca yield condition. A similar analysis under the von Mises yield condition reveals no plastic strip formation.

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.

Design of connections of pipes and pressure vessels on the basis of a calculated maximum elastic stress often proves to be too conservative in the case of ductile materials. Elastic-plastic analysis by the finite element method proves to be too costly. This paper presents an alternative method which reduces the calculations to those of a rotationally symmetric shell subjected to axisymmetric loading. Using this approach approximate elastic-plastic deformations on the meridian passing through the crotch of a tee branch connection of cylindrical shells of equal diameter and thickness are determined. The method is limited to cases of the normal intersection of very thin shells of identical diameter, thickness, and material and to internal pressure loading. Numerical results for the intersection of two shells of R/t equal to 100 are given for an elastic-perfectly plastic material satisfying the von Mises yield condition.

This work presents a finite element study of a two-dimensional (2D) plane strain fretting model of a half cylinder in contact with a flat block under oscillatory tangential loading. The two bodies are deformable and are set to the same material properties (specifically steel), however, because the results are normalized, they can characterize a range of contact scales (micro to macro), and are applicable for ductile material pairs that behave in an elastic-perfectly plastic manner. Different coefficients of friction (COFs) are used in the interface. This work finds that the edges of the contacting areas experience large von Mises stresses along with significant residual plastic strains, while pileup could also appear there when the COFs are sufficiently large. In addition, junction growth is investigated, showing a magnitude that increases with the COF, while the rate of growth stabilization decreases with the COF. The fretting loop (caused by the tangential force during the fretting motion) for the initial few cycles of loading is generated, and it compares well with reported experimental results. The effects of boundary conditions are also discussed where a prestressed compressed block is found to improve (i.e., reduce) the magnitude of the plastic strain compared to an unstressed block.
