Abstract: Using the strain-mapping method for the Tresca yield condition, the yield surface is derived for a cylindrical shell with a wall reinforced by longitudinal ribs on one side. Results are given ...

Abstract: Results are presented for the limit analysis of pressure vessel heads of torispherical and ellipsoidal shapes in order to evaluate the influence of different head thicknesses for a given cylinder ...

Abstract: A study is conducted to determine the plastic energy absorbed by a material subjected to cyclic loading during the crack propagation stage. The analysis is based on Liu’s elastoplastic solution ...

Abstract: The effect of the relative mean strain in the low-cycle fatigue of a stainless steel (AISI 304) in air at 650°C and at a constant strain rate (4 × 10−3 s−1 ) is studied. Two ...
