Abstract: Methods for performing finite element stress analysis of perforated plates under pressure and complex thermal loading conditions are described. The concept of the equivalent solid material of ...

Abstract: The sheet perforated with a uniform array of circular holes arranged in a square pattern is investigated. The plastic strains are derived for progressive in-plane loading which eventually results ...

Abstract: Limit pressures are evaluated for cylindrical perforated shells containing circular holes arranged in the various penetration patterns typically found in practice. Statically admissible discontinuous ...

Abstract: Within the last two decades, the use of elastic finite element analyses to demonstrate design compliance with the rules of the ASME Code has become a generally accepted engineering practice. ...

Abstract: Bounds on inelastic strain ranges and maximum residual stresses introduced by transient operating conditions are obtained. These strain ranges and maximum residual stresses can be used to determine ...

Abstract: Perforated plates with a uniform triangular penetration pattern subjected to alternating loads are analyzed. The cases of equibiaxial and shear loading are considered and the finite element method ...

Abstract: Steady creep solutions are obtained for perforated materials under various loading conditions. Norton’s creep power law is used and the plane stress problem is analyzed for both the triangular ...
