Sommario

Facendo riferimento a un solido elastico perfettamente plastico soggetto a carichi ciclici, si considera il problema del moltiplicatore dei carichi ad adattamento e si studiano le equazioni di Eulero-Lagrange ad esso associate. Si trova che la soluzione di queste equazioni descrive il gradiente, rispetto al moltiplicatore dei carichi, della risposta stazionaria del solido ai carichi ciclici al limite di adattamento, e che quindi essa consente di predire la natura del collasso incipiente, Questi risultati vengono quindi estesi al caso più generale di carichi variabili in un dato dominio.

Summary

Making reference to elastic perfectly plastic solids subjected to cyclic loads, the problem of the shakedown load factor is considered and the relevant Euler-Lagrange equations are discussed. It is proved that the solution to these equations describes the gradient, with respect to the load multiplier, of the steady-state response of the solid body to the cyclic loads at the shakedown limit, and that it thus enables one to predict the nature of the impending collapse. These results are then extended to the more general case of loads varying within a given load domain.
