Causes and Consequences of Nonuniqueness in an Elastic/Perfectly-Plastic Truss
نویسندگان
چکیده
A complete solution to collapse is given for a three-bar symmetric truss made of an elastic/perfectly-plastic material, using linear statics and kinematics, and the solution is found to be partially nonunique in the range of contained plastic deformation. The introduction of a first-order deviation from symmetry and/or the inclusion of first-order nonlinear terms in the equilibrium equations is found to restore uniqueness. The significance of these effects is analyzed and discussed from mathematical, physical, modelling, computational, and engineering points of view.

Contour of Complete Nonuniqueness as a Method of Structural Optimization with Stability Constraints
This paper develops the concept of a contour of complete nonuniqueness and shows its application to the optimal design (optimal layout) of simple trusses transmitting a concentrated force to a presscribed, arbitrary foundation contour. As an example, a symmetric two-bar truss with compressed bars is considered, and the constraints refer to various kinds of elastic instability of the system.
متن کاملElastic-Plastic Analysis of Bending Moment – Axial Force Interaction in Metallic Beam of T-Section
This study derives kinematic admissible bending moment – axial force (M-P) interaction relations for mild steel by considering elastic-plastic idealizations. The interaction relations can predict strains, which is not possible in a rigid perfectly plastic idealization. The relations are obtained for all possible cases pertaining to the locations of neutral axis. One commercial rolled steel T-se...

متن کاملFinite element analysis of elastic-plastic solids under Vickers indentation: surface deformation
Finite element modeling has been used to study the development of surface deformation during indentation with a Vickers indenter. A wide range of materials with different elastic modulus and yield stresses are examined. Results show that in a pyramidal indentation process, for a perfectly plastic material, sinking-in during loading can change to pile-up in unloading. This phenomenon depends on ...

In this study a Modified Compressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (MCSPH) method is introduced which is applicable in problems involve shock wave structures and elastic-plastic deformations of solids. As a matter of fact, algorithm of the method is based on an approach which descritizes the momentum equation into three parts and solves each part separately and calculates their effects on th...
