Limit and shakedown analysis of structures by the finite element method
Limit and shakedown analyses are powerful methods in designing pressure vessel components and other engineering structures. With the development of computer technology the use of finite element analysis as an alternative tool for engineering structure design has become ever more increasing. In this …

Limit Analysis and Shakedown in Plane Frames and Plane Stress Problems
… method is developed for the determination of the shakedown load factor for elastic, perfectly plastic plane frames subjected to cyclic loading or random loads varying between fixed limits. The essential feature of the method is the employment of an automatic force method of elastic analysis which …

Lower-bound shakedown analysis of pavements by using the interior point method
… Based on the lower-bound theorem by Melan, the shakedown load for pavements under cyclic rolling contact loading can be determined. The thesis is composed of three main parts. First, a method for the shakedown analysis of repeated sliding/rolling line contact as well as repeated stationary line …

Numerical and experimental investigation of shakedown in evolving non-Hertzian rolling contact
… parameters during this process is reported. Shakedown limits are obtained at different instants of the deformation process using Melan’s theorem. It is observed that the high stresses near the surface discontinuities greatly affect the shakedown limits. The actual stress state is observed to …

Numerische Einspieluntersuchungen mechanischer Komponenten mit begrenzt kinematisch verfestigendem Materialverhalten
The determination of shakedown loads of mechanical systems is of crucial importance in construction engineering, particularly in case of varying thermo-mechanical loading. In order to obtain realistic results, the consideration of limited kinematical hardening is necessary. Especially for …

Einspieluntersuchungen von Verbundwerkstoffen mit periodischer Mikrostruktur
In the present work, the shakedown behaviour of composite materials with periodic microstructure is investigated. For this, a general static shakedown theorem is given and proven taking into account the effects of limited linear kinematical hardening and plastic ductile damage. A general procedure …

Analyses and prediction of granular layer rutting trends in airport pavements due to heavy aircraft wheel loading and wander patterns
… clearly indicated the presence of the so-called shakedown effect with load wander governing the behavior of unbound aggregate layers. Also, it was noted that shakedown was more readily happening when the wander width was kept narrow. Especially in the 6-wheel sections, the residual deformations …

Permanent Deformation Behaviour of Unbound Granular Materials in Pavement Constructions
… this data a serviceability limit line (plastic shakedown limit) stress boundary for the unbound granular materials (UGM) was defined for different moisture contents. Below this line the material will have stable behavior. The serviceability limit line was applied in a finite-element (FE)-program …
