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.

Issued without a dust jacket. -- A technical exploration of the theory and application of limit analysis to the study of plate structures in engineering. The book provides a rigorous and mathematical approach to understanding the behavior of plates under various loading conditions, focusing on their collapse mechanisms and load-bearing capacities. The authors address the fundamental concepts of plasticity and structural mechanics, explaining how the limit analysis method can be applied to determine the ultimate load a plate can sustain before failure. It covers both theoretical foundations and practical methods, incorporating real-world examples to demonstrate the application of limit analysis in structural engineering design. For civil and structural engineers, as well as researchers and students specializing in structural mechanics and materials science. Seller Inventory # 010612
