Abstract: | This paper presents a simple method of evaluating the alternating plasticity limit of structures with nonsandwich cross sections under combined stresses. Mathematical programming and matrix formulations are used. A procedure that enables the actual shakedown limit of the nonsandwich structure to be found is then given. Illustrative numerical examples are presented. |
