An edge-based smoothed finite element method (ES-FEM) using three-node linear
triangular elements was recently proposed to significantly improve the accuracy and …

This paper presents a novel numerical procedure for computing limit and shakedown loads
of structures using a node‐based smoothed FEM in combination with a primal–dual …

A new solid-shell finite element formulation is investigated in this paper. Departing from the
S-FEM concept of node-based stress smoothing scheme, a new pattern that introduces new …

We propose a numerical method for the computation of shakedown loads of engineering
structures subjected to varying thermo-mechanical loading. The method is based on Melan's …

This article presents the first experimental, numerical, and analytical study of the
elastoplastic shakedown response of an auxetic metamaterial structure that elucidates …

Auxetic tubular structures have raised increasing research interest due to their unique and
tailored properties. However, the complexity of multiaxial loads eliminates the availability of …

The determination of shakedown load or shakedown domain is an important task in
structural design and integrity assessment. In this paper, a novel numerical procedure based …

Shakedown analysis is a powerful tool for assessing the safety of structures under variable
repeated loads. By using the element free Galerkin (EFG) method and non-linear …

A plasticity formulation for the Hybrid Virtual Element Method (HVEM) is presented. The
main features include the use of an energy norm for the VE projection, a high-order …

A mathematical programming formulation of strain‐driven path‐following strategies to
perform shakedown and limit analysis for perfectly elastoplastic materials in an FEM context …
