Shape optimization of elasto-plastic axisymmetric bodies

Shape Optimization of Elasto-plastic Structures with Shakedown Constraints

An integrated approach for all necessary variations within direct analysis, variational design sensitivity analysis and shakedown analysis based on Melan’s static shakedown theorem for linear unlimited kinematic hardening material behavior is formulated. Remarks on the computer implementation and numerical examples show the efficiency of the proposed formulation. Important effects of shakedown ...

Parameter sensitivity of anisotropic elasto-plastic shell

1.Abstract A continuum-based design sensitivity analysis (DSA) applied to the thickness design of the anisotropic elasto-plastic shell structures is developed. Since main interest lies in developing path-following algorithms for solving sensitivity problems of elasto-plasticity, such an incremental or a step-by-step formalism will be employed to implementation into the structural analysis progr...

Longitudinal Motion of an Elasto - Plastic Bar

Uncertainty Propagation in Elasto-Plastic Material

Macroscopically heterogeneous materials, characterised mostly by comparable heterogeneity lengthscale and structural sizes, can no longer be modelled by deterministic approach instead. It is convenient to introduce stochastic approach with uncertain material parameters quantified as random fields and/or random variables. The present contribution is devoted to propagation of these uncertainties ...

Real-time simulation of large elasto-plastic deformation with shape matching

Shape matching is a popular method for simulating deformable objects in real time as it is fast and stable at large time steps. Although shape matching can simulate large elastic deformation and ductile fracturing, until now, they are limited to scenarios with relatively small plastic deformation. In this work, we present a method for simulating deformable solids undergoing large plastic deform...
