Abstract:
A finite element analysis of elasto-plastic Reissner-Mindlin plates is presented. The discrete field equations are derived from a nonlinear version of the Hu-Washizu variational principle. Associative plasticity, including linear hardening, is employed by means of a generalized von Mises-type yield function. A predictor/corrector scheme is used to integrate the plastic constitutive rate equations. Numerical simulations are conducted for a series of test problems to illustrate performance of the formulation.

Abstract:
The analysis of impact response for metal–ceramic functionally graded materials is important for the design of advanced impact resistance structures in aerospace, nuclear and mechanical industries. Here, we propose a dislocation-based continuum model to analyze elasto-plastic deformation of metal–ceramic functionally graded plates under low-velocity impact. The dislocation-based continuum model explicitly accounts for strengthening effects due to geometrically necessary dislocations and plastic strain gradient in impact analysis of metal–ceramic functionally graded plates by combining Taylor d

Abstract:
Thin plates are structures widely used in different industries, due to their mechanical properties. They are often subjected to combined loading, which can cause an undesired phenomenon called buckling. In this sense, the present work analyzes the elasto-plastic buckling behavior of thin steel plates that are simply supported and subjected to in-plane uniaxial or biaxial compression combined with lateral pressure. To obtain the ultimate stress of the plates, a computational model was developed using the finite element method. Initially, the computational model was verified through previous num

Low-velocity impact of elasto-plastic functionally graded material (FGM) plates is first investigated in this paper based on Mori–Tanaka model to underline micromechanics and locally determine the effective FGM properties and self-consistent method of Suquet for the homogenization of the stress-field. The elasto-plastic behavior of the particle reinforced metal matrix FGM plate is assumed to follow Ludwik hardening law. An incremental formulation of the elasto-plastic constitutive relation is developed to predict the tangent operator. The homogenization formulation and numerical algorithms are

In this work we develop a rigorous mathematical analysis of variational problems describing the quasistatic evolutionary problems in plasticity. The common feature of the problems under consideration is the variational energy formulation, where the mathematical difficulties arise due to the presence of a term with a linear growth in the symmetric part of the gradient of the unknown vector-valued functions in a volumetric case, or on the Hessian of the unknown scalar function in two-dimensional problems for plates. In the applications these functions represent displacement fields of a body...
