, it is not possible to increase the fillet sizes without some further modifications to the balance. It is required that some materials be extracted from the balance in order to have larger fillet sizes. Researchers are interested in being able to apply some components of the load on the balance above the limit loads

Limit loads of circular plates under combined transverse and in-plane loading are given for the von Mises yield condition. Ivanov's approximation to the llyushin yield surface is used. Collapse load interaction curves and stress fields are given for simply supported and clamped plates

A simplified method is proposed to evaluate limit load at incipient plastic collapse for a pipe made of ductile materials with multiple circumferential flaws. Fitness-for-service codes such as the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section XI specify limit load analysis for a pipe with a single

It is now known that the usual traffic condition (the nominal load being less than one at each station) is not sufficient for stability for a multiclass open queueing network. Although there has been some progress in establishing the stability conditions for a multiclass network

The purpose of this study is to determine limit loads for pipe elbows subjected to inplane

-purpose computer program. The method for determin-ing the plastic limit load based on the maximum criterion of the rate of the change of the relative plastic work and program module LOAD_PL for its realization are presented. The results of comparisons with the twice elastic-slope (TES) method were considered

The procedures described in this paper for determining a limit load is based on Mura

A method for bounding limit loads by an iterative elastic continuum finite element analysis procedure, referred to as the elastic compensation method, is proposed. A number of sample problems are considered, based on both exact solutions and finite element analysis, and it is concluded

This paper proposes a numerical scheme to approximate the solution of (vectorial) limit load problems. The method makes use of a strictly convex perturbation of the problem, which corresponds to a projection of the deformation field under bounded deformation and incompressibility constraints

After discussing general properties of implicit Finite Element analysis using ANSYS and explicit analysis using LS-DYNA it is shown when and how quasi-static limit load analyses can be performed by a tran-sient analysis using explicit time integration. Then we focus on the remaining benefits
