The lower bound shakedown analysis is a most convenient tool to determine the load
bearing capacity of engineering structures subjected to thermo-mechanical loadings. In …

We present a numerical method for the computation of shakedown loads of engineering
structures with limited kinematical hardening under thermo-mechanical loading. The method …

This paper concerns the development of a kinematic formulation for the finite element limit
and shakedown analysis of shells. The technique is based upon an upper bound approach …

The current research utilizes an efficient shakedown computation technique to determine the
load-bearing capacity of a structure. It can predict the strengths of a structure under arbitrary …

The load bearing capacity of engineering structures subjected to varying thermo-mechanical
loading can be determined most conveniently by shakedown analysis. Admittedly, if limited …

In order to understand how hardening of the binder phase in particulate reinforced metal
matrix composites (PRMMC) influences the effective strength, we present in this work a …

The main subjects of this chapter are the variational formulations for the computation of a
safety factor in shakedown analysis, the numerical procedures available to implement this …
