Abstract: For a structure of elastic perfectly plastic material subjected to a given cyclic (mechanical and/or kinematical) load and to a steady (mechanical) load, the conditions are established in which ...

Abstract: For a continuous elastic-perfectly plastic solid body subjected to a combination of cyclic (mechanical and/or kinematical) load and of a steady (mechanical) load, two theorems of plastic shakedown ...

Abstract: Following the results of a companion paper, the concept of plastic shakedown limit load is introduced for an elastic-perfectly plastic material structure subjected to combined cyclic (mechanical ...

Abstract: A method for the analysis of discrete elastoplastic structural systems with proportional damping and subjected to dynamic loads is presented. Firstly, it is shown that, using the mode superposition method, the actual node ...

Abstract: This review article concerns a methodology for solving numerically, for engineering purposes, boundary and initial-boundary value problems by a peculiar approach characterized by the following ...
