Sommario

La memoria considera problemi di analisi a shakedown (o adattamento) relativamente a solidi elastoplastici sottoposti a carichi quasi-statici i quali variano restando all'interno di un dato dominio. Mediante l'uso di un metodo di perturbazione si fornisce una disuguaglianza generale dalla quale — particolarizzando opportunamente i termini della perturbazione — si deducono il teorema di adattamento di Melan nonché delimitazioni a priori su alcuni parametri della deformazione (come spostamenti o intensità delle deformazioni plastiche). La soluzione del problema perturbato, espressa in termini olonomi, consente di rendere tali delimitazioni stringenti al massimo possibile ed esprimibili in termini locali anziché in termini integrali. Una semplice applicazione conclude il lavoro.

Summary

The paper concerns shakedown analysis of elastic-plastic bodies subjected to quasi-statically varying loads within a given domain. Using a perturbation method, a general inequality is given, from which, by simply specializing the perturbing terms, the generalized Melan theorem as well as bounds on various deformation parameters (such as displacements or plastic strain intensities) are derived. The solution of the «perturbed» shakedown problem in finite or holonimic terms permits the bound to be the most stringent and expressible in «local» terms instead of integral terms. A simple application concludes the paper.
