Problems of Structural Optimization Under Creep Conditions
نویسنده
چکیده
Optimal structural design under creep conditions, initiated over 20 years ago, brings a fairly larg~ variety of problems, interesting both from theoretical and engineering point of view. Existence of the time factor leads to optimization for a prescribed lifetime and the number of independent variables in governing equations increases by one. Practical importance is connected with design of metal structures working at elevated temperatures, structures made of plastics, concrete etc. Here we discuss optimization problems with constraints imposed on brittle and ductile creep rupture, stiffness, creep buckling, dynamic behaviour. Some further possible directions of development are mentioned as well.

Optimization of Cylindrical Shells Under Combined Loading Against Brittle Creep Rupture
Optimal structural design of cylindrical shells under overall bending, torsion, tension and internal pressure in creep conditions is considered. The material is assumed to be governed by the Norton-Odqvist nonlinear steady creep law. Minimal weight of the shell is the design objective, radius and wall thickness are design variables, and the constraint refers to brittle creep rupture as describe...
متن کاملCreep Life Forecasting of Weldment
One of the yet unresolved engineering problems is forecasting the creep lives of weldment in a pragmatic way with sufficient accuracy. There are number of obstacles to circumvent including: complex material behavior, lack of accurate knowledge about the creep material behavior specially about the heat affected zones (HAZ),accurate and multi-axial creep damage models, etc. In general, creep life...
متن کاملCREEP AGE FORMING OF Al-Zn-Mg ALLOYS WITH OPTIMIZATION OF MECHANICALl PROPERTIES
Creep age forming (CAF) is one of the novel methods in aerospace industry that has been used to manufacture components of panels with improved mechanical properties and reduced fabrication cost. CAF is a combined age-hardening and stress-relaxation that are responsible for strengthening and forming, respectively. This paper deals with the experimental investigations of mechanical and springback...
متن کاملModeling the Temperature Dependence of Tertiary Creep Damage of a Ni-Based Alloy
To capture the mechanical response of Ni-based materials, creep deformation and rupture experiments are typically performed. Long term tests, mimicking service conditions at 10,000 h or more, are generally avoided due to expense. Phenomenological models such as the classical Kachanov–Rabotnov (Rabotnov, 1969, Creep Problems in Structural Members, North-Holland, Amsterdam; Kachanov, 1958, “Time ...
متن کاملOptimality conditions for approximate solutions of vector optimization problems with variable ordering structures
We consider nonconvex vector optimization problems with variable ordering structures in Banach spaces. Under certain boundedness and continuity properties we present necessary conditions for approximate solutions of these problems. Using a generic approach to subdifferentials we derive necessary conditions for approximate minimizers and approximately minimal solutions of vector optimizatio...
