displacement controlled situation. In contrast Z=∞ represents the extreme case of fully load controlled situation. Presence of mixed boundary conditions is interpreted as 1<Z<∞. A methodology that overcomes the singularity problem of cracked structure...

A new simplified method is proposed in this paper in order to assess the effects of elastic follow-up on the strain accumulation (ratcheting) behavior of two-plate model made up of AISI 1045 steel under displacement-control loading, and a set...

This paper provides a program to adopt based on modeling the nonlinear behavior of

arbitrary elements with combination of material nonlinearity and geometric nonlinearity for the

purpose of structures assessment. ...
