This article is concerned with a review of the literature on shakedown problems of complex
structures according to various hardening rules. Although many hardening rules have been …

The load-carrying capacity or the safety against plastic limit states are the central questions
in the design of structures and passive components in the apparatus engineering. A precise …

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 …

Abstract The Residual Stress Decomposition Method for Shakedown (RSDM-S) is a new
iterative direct method to estimate the shakedown load in a 2-dimensional (2D) loading …

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

In this paper, a novel direct method called the stress compensation method (SCM) is
proposed for limit and shakedown analysis of large-scale elastoplastic structures. Without …

This paper presents a novel direct method for the structural shakedown analysis considering
limited kinematic hardening and non-isothermal effect. The Melan's static shakedown …

There exist two basic formulations of static shakedown theorem for bounded kinematic
hardening (KH) model in literature. Whether the two formulations are equivalent, whether the …

This article presents an elastoplastic continuum topology optimization method for
shakedown under the SIMP‐based framework for the first time, aiming to maximize …

The limited kinematic hardening plasticity theory is re-examined and presented with
additional clarifying hypotheses being proposed. The general theory forms the base for …
