9788301111816: Limit Analysis of Plates

Synopsis

Limit analysis is concerned with the development of effective methods for computing the ultimate load of many types of structures. It is especially for thin plates that limit analysis supplies relatively simple and reliable results of intense interest to practicing engineers and to the students of plasticity alike. The prime objective of this book is to present basic features of the limit analysis of plates. Emphasis is placed both on mathanatical aspects of the plastic plate equations and on the solutions for a broad class of plates obeying various yield conditions. Methods of the limit analysis for plates are explained and approximate theories, such as the yield-line method, are discussed on the background of the general theory. It is hoped that this book will prove useful to both the research workers and graduate students in the field of applied plasticity as well as to the civil and structural engineers.
