Funded Activity Summary

Limit and shakedown analyses allowing for limited ductility. The integrity assessment of structures by direct methods, founded on limit and shakedown concepts, provides vital information about their failure loads. This project aims at overcoming a severe shortcoming of such approaches by incorporating the effects of limited ductility into the analyses. Novel formulations and efficient algorithms will be developed. These tools will be used to provide a better understanding of the implications of limited ductility, vital to a proper safety assessment of limited ductility structures under complex loadings. Such a capability is important in infrastructure design as well as in such strategic areas as the aeronautical technologies.
