Verification of the linear matching method for limit and shakedown analysis by comparison with experiments [PDF]
, 2013 The Linear Matching Method (LMM), a direct numerical method for determining shakedown and ratchet limits of components, has seen significant development in recent years. Previous verifications of these developments against cyclic nonlinear finite element

3D ultimate limit state analysis using discontinuity layout optimization [PDF]
, 2012 The recently developed discontinuity layout optimization (DLO) procedure uses limit analysis theory to directly obtain upper bounds on plane strain collapse loads of bodies and has successfully been applied to geotechnical problems.

A Multi-Scale Numerical Method for the Study of Size-Scale Effects in Ductile Fracture
Metals, 2014 The use of a stress-strain constitutive relation for the undamaged material and a traction-separation cohesive crack model with softening for cracking has been demonstrated to be an effective strategy to predict and explain the size-scale effects on the

Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids, 2009 We present a mathematical framework for the theory of limit analysis of rigid, perfectly plastic bodies where the equality of the static multiplier and kinematic multiplier for incompressible fields is formulated and proved in a compact form. Assuming that the failure criterion is a norm on the space of deviatoric stress fields, we use standard ...

Unilateral contact and damage analysis in masonry arches
Vietnam Journal of Mechanics, 2009 In the present work the ultimate failure load and the collapse mechanism of a stone arch bridge are estimated by the usage of (a) a multi - part elastic model with unilateral contact frictional interfaces and (b) a continuous damage model.

The Limits of Cost-Effectiveness Analysis [PDF]
Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, 2009 The competitive worldwide economic environment and ever-increasing costs of health care have created a setting in which understanding costs and making sure that we achieve good value in health care are paramount. One approach to seeking value is through the use of cost-effectiveness analysis.
