Effect of circular holes on the ratchet limit and crack tip plastic strain range in a centre cracked plate [PDF]
In this paper a centre cracked plate subjected to cyclic tensile loading and cyclic bending moment is considered. The effect of circular holes drilled in the region of the crack tip on the ratchet limit and crack tip plastic strain range is studied ...

Characterising plastic collapse of pipe bend structures [PDF]
Two recently proposed design by analysis criteria of plastic collapse based on plastic work concepts, the plastic work (PW) criterion and the plastic work curvature (PWC) criterion, are applied to a strain hardening pipe bend arrangement subject to ...

A comparison of plastic collapse and limit loads for single mitred pipe bends under in-plane bending [PDF]
This paper presents a comparison of the plastic collapse loads from experimental in-plane bending tests on three 90 degree single un-reinforced mitred pipe bends, with the results from various 3D solid finite element models.

Plastic Waste: Environmental Legal Issues and Policy Law Enforcement for Environmental Sustainability [PDF]
The use of plastic products has been part of human life and daily activities. Since plastic can be harmful to the environment, solutions are required to limit, reduce, and minimize the use of this material for sustaining environmental preservation ...

Plastic load evaluation for a fixed tube sheet heat exchanger subject to proportional loading [PDF]
The plastic load of pressurised components can be calculated based on both the twice elastic slope and tangent methods. Both methods are problematic since they rely on parameters that are localised and therefore have a strong dependency on the gradient ...
