Shakedown of Layered Pavements under Repeated Moving Loads [PDF]
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
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
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
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

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

Ratchet analysis of structures under a generalised cyclic load history
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
