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

The traditional approach to structural lightweight optimization design, which is based on the
elastic limit rule, often results in a structure that exhibits either weight redundancy or strength …

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

Studying the ratcheting and shakedown behavior of materials under cyclic loading is
significant for controlling structural deformation and improving the service lifetime of …

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 …

In this paper, a new homogenization model is developed for the determination of
macroscopic shakedown limit state for porous media subjected to general cyclic loads …

As the main component of the crewed spacecraft, the space capsule used for future space
missions, especially for the deep-space explorations, must be safe, lightweight, and …

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 …

A new formulation to calculate shakedown limit load of structures under stochastic
conditions of strength and loading is developed. Direct structural reliability design is based …
