The current study has attempted to comprehensively review ratcheting response of materials
involving various influential parameters such as loading spectra, thermal cycles, stress …

Components that face aggressive thermomechanical loadings that are cyclic and multiaxial
often employ nickel-base single crystal superalloys to achieve acceptable lifetimes. These …

No experimental data exist within open literature, to the best knowledge of the author, for
determining shakedown boundaries of 90° back-to-back pipe bends. Ninety degree back-to …

For the first time, the lower bound shakedown theorem is integrated into a level set–based
topology optimization framework to identify lightweight elastoplastic designs. Shakedown is …

This research studies the effect of wall thinning on generated shakedown (SD) interaction
diagrams of pressurized low-carbon steel 90-degree (90-Deg) back-to-back (B2B) bends …

The elbows play a critical role in industrial and power plant systems. To ensure operational
safety, extensive research has been conducted on the fatigue behaviour of pipe bends. This …

In the present research, Bree's diagram, which has been used for ratcheting assessment of
pressurized equipment in ASME III NH, has been developed when the pressure vessel …

In this paper, the Bree diagram is extended to consider the progressive buckling failure and
a direct approach for structural progressive buckling design considering ratcheting …

In the current research, the elastic shakedown limit loads for a cylindrical vessel–nozzle
intersection is determined via a direct noncyclic simplified technique. The cylindrical vessel …

A methodology that targets determining the shakedown (SD) limit loads via computing the
plastic work dissipation (PWD) is presented. The methodology is termed: Shakedown Limit …
