Kinematic criteria of dynamic shakedown extended to nonassociative constitutive laws with saturation nonlinear hardening

Alberto Corigliano, Giulio Maier, Slawomir Pycko (1995)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Similarity:

The class of elastic-plastic material models considered allows for nonassociativity, nonlinear hardening and saturation in the sense that the static internal variables are constrained by a bounding surface described through convex bounding functions. With reference to finite element, generalized variables discretization in space, two dynamic shakedown criteria are established by a kinematic approach in Koiter's sense, based on weak constitutive restrictions and centered on two suitable...

On implicit constitutive theories

Kumbakonam R. Rajagopal (2003)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

In classical constitutive models such as the Navier-Stokes fluid model, and the Hookean or neo-Hookean solid models, the stress is given explicitly in terms of kinematical quantities. Models for viscoelastic and inelastic responses on the other hand are usually implicit relationships between the stress and the kinematical quantities. Another class of problems wherein it would be natural to develop implicit constitutive theories, though seldom resorted to, are models for bodies that are...

Betti's reciprocal theorem for Cosserat elastic shells

Franco Pastrone (1991)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Similarity:

It is proved that, as in three-dimensional elasticity, Betti's theorem represents a criterion for the existence of a stored-energy function for a Cosserat elastic shell.

On the history of suspension bridge theory

T. Malcolm Charlton, Placido Cicala (1991)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Similarity:

A linearized formulation of the elastic theory of suspension bridges is confronted with early investigations in the field. For decades, the structure was schematized as a beam (deck or girder) relieved by a one parameter distribution of forces exerted by the cable, disregarding the influence of beam deflection on that distribution as given by the linearized approach. An anonymous note presented the essential conclusions of this theory anticipating results of investigations following...
