Abstract
In the hypothesis of small displacements and combined time-variable/steady loads, the geometrical-mechanical properties of the shakedown load boundary are investigated. It is shown that, in the load space, the shakedown load boundary plays the role of yield surface, and that a certain plastic strain accumulation vector—characterizing some impending inadaptation collapse mechanism—obeys the normality rule, whereas a specific form of the maximum plastic work theorem constitutes an effective tool for the evaluation of the shakedown limit load corresponding to a specified inadaptation collapse mode. The equations governing the state of the structure at the shakedown limit are provided and the related collapse mechanism is shown to specify the shape of the steady-state response of the structure to a periodic load enveloping the load domain with an intensity slightly above the shakedown limit.
Sommario
Nell'ipotesi di piccoli spostamenti e di plasticità perfetta, si studiano le proprietà geometrico-meccaniche della frontiera del dominio dei carichi di adattamento. Si mostra come, nello spazio dei carichi, la suddetta frontiera giuoca il ruolo di superficie di plasticizzazione ed un particolare vettore di deformazione plastica accumulata—che caratterizza il meccanismo di non adattamento—segue la legge della normalità, mentre una forma specifica del teorema del massimo lavoro plastico costituisce un valido strumento per la valutazione del carico limite corrispondente ad un dato meccanismo di non adattamento. Si forniscono altresì le equazioni che governano lo stato della struttura al limite di adattamento, mostrando la capacità del relativo meccanismo di collasso a rappresentare la risposta a lungo termine della struttura a dei carichi periodici inviluppanti il dominio dei carichi con una intensità un poco al di sopra del limite di adattamento.
