Shakedown of Layered Pavements under Repeated Moving Loads [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In recent years, shakedown theory has been suggested as a more rational theoretical foundation for pavement structural design. This paper suggests a numerical approach to find shakedown load limit of layered pavements based on an investigation of ...

On the shakedown analysis of welded pipes

open access: yes, 2011
This paper presents the shakedown analysis of welded pipes subjected to a constant internal pressure and a varying thermal load. The Linear Matching Method (LMM) is applied to investigate the upper and lower bound shakedown limits of the pipes ...

Influence of graphite morphology on static and cyclic strength of ferritic nodular cast iron

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
High silicon alloyed nodular cast iron consists of a purely ferritic matrix and graphite nodules, mainly. Varying wall thicknesses and manufacturing conditions result in different graphite morphologies throughout a structural component.

Impact of Cyclic Loading on Shakedown in Cohesive Soils—Simple Hysteresis Loop Model

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
The objective of this study is to characterize the permanent deformations and to present a mathematical model that enables the prediction of permanent strain during cyclic loading. First, laboratory cyclic triaxial tests are conducted on sandy silty clay

Integrated structural analysis tool using linear matching method part 2 : Application and verification

open access: yes, 2014
In an accompanying paper, a new integrated structural analysis tool using the LMM framework for the assessment of design limits in plasticity including load carrying capacity, shakedown limit, ratchet limit and steady state cyclic response of structures ...

Shakedown modeling of unsaturated expansive soils subjected to wetting and drying cycles

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2016
It is important to model the behavior of unsaturated expansive soils subjected to wetting and drying cycles because they alter significantly their hydro-mechanical behavior and therefore cause a huge differential settlement on shallow foundations of the ...

Integrated structural analysis tool using linear matching method part 1 : Software development

open access: yes, 2014
A number of direct methods based upon the Linear Matching Method (LMM) framework have been developed to address structural integrity issues for components subjected to cyclic thermal and mechanical load conditions.

Investigation on shakedown response-behavior of thawed subgrade soils under long-term traffic loading

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
The shakedown state of the subgrade is crucial for the sustainable design and long-term stability evaluation of pavement structures. In order to characterize the plastic deformation and shakedown behavior of subgrade soil in seasonal frozen regions ...

Ratchet analysis of structures under a generalised cyclic load history

open access: yes, 2014
This paper introduces a new approach based upon the Linear Matching Method in order to obtain the ratchet limit of structures subjected to an arbitrary thermo-mechanical load history. This method varies from the traditional Linear Matching Method ratchet

Work-related sexual and gender harassment: conceptual challenges and the need for evidence-based prevention

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 2023
The topic of work-related sexual harassment has gained renewed attention in recent years following the public accounts of sexually harassing experiences – many of which were work-related – that emerged during the #MeToo movement beginning in October 2017
