Summary
A finite element technique for the elastic-plastic analysis of two dimensional structures subjected to conditions of plane stress and monotonically increasing loads is presented. The complete load deformation history as well as the propagation of the yield zones in the structure up to plastic collapse are studied. The material is assumed to be elastic-perfectly plastic and yielding is governed by Tresca yield condition. Plastic stress-strain relations for the sides and corners of Tresca yield condition are derived in terms of the components of the stresses and strains along a fixed reference coordinate system and the direction of the principal stress. The load is applied in small increments and the principal stress direction for each plastic element during a load increment is determined by an interpolation technique which leads to stresses that satisfy the yield condition. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the accuracy of the results obtained by the proposed method.
Übersicht
Es wird eine „finite element”-Methode vorgeschlagen zur Berechnung zweidimensionaler elastischplastischer Baukonstruktionen, die einem ebenen Spannungszustand mit monoton wachsender Last unterworfen sind. Das Belastungs-Verformungs-Verhalten und die Ausbreitung der Fließbereiche bis zum plastischen Zusammenbruch werden untersucht. Das Material soll der Fließbedingung von Tresca genügen. Spannungs-Verformungs-Berechnungen für die Ränder und Ecken des Tresca-Bereiches werden in Komponenten der Spannungen und Dehnungen längs der Achsriclitungen eines festen Bezugssystems und der Hauptspannungsrichtungen ausgedrückt. Die Belastung wird in kleinen Stufen aufgebracht, und die Hauptspannungsrichtungen werden für jedes plastische Teilchen während des Lastaufbringens durch Interpolation bestimmt. Die so erhaltenen Spannungen genügen der Fließbedingung. Durch numerische Beispiele wird die Genauigkeit des vorgeschlagenen Verfahrens demonstriert.
