This paper presents a numerical investigation on kerosene-air mixture detonation and behaviors of thermal elasto-plstic thin metal tube under detonation loading based on multi-material analysis. The detonation loading is modeled by the kerosene-air mixture detonation which is compared with Chapman-Jouguet (C-J) condition and experimental cell size. To conform the elasto-plastic model, plastic and elastic behaviors are verified by Taylor impact and plate bending motion, respectively. The numerical results are compared with the theory on burst pressure of tube. The critical deformable thickness with the thermal softening considered is good agreement with the theoretical value.

In this paper elasto-plastic dynamic behavior of solid is analyzed by using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) without tensile instability which caused by a clustering of SPH particles. In solid body computations, the instability may corrupt physical behavior by numerical fragmentation which, in some cases of elastic or brittle solids, is so severe that the dynamics of the system is completely wrong. The instability removed by using an artificial stress which introduces negligible errors in long-wavelength modes. Applications to several test problems show that the artificial stress works effectively. These problems include the collision of rubber cylinders, fracture and crack of plate.

Recent application researches on external pre-stressing method of composite structures have been conducted to explore its advantages. An external pre-stress could improve mechanical behavior and maintenance, and is economically efficient. In this paper, the Incremental Deformation Method (IDM) was proposed to analyze the elasto-plastic flexural behavior of externally pre-stressed composite bridge with consideration for the material's nonlinearity. This method was verified with experimental results.

Stability of a cylindrical shell subject to a uniform axial compression, which is a power function of time, is examined within the framework of small strain elasto-plasticity. The material of the shell is incompressible and the effect of the elastic unloading is considered. Initially, employing the infinitesimal elastic-plastic deformation theory, the fundamental relations and Donnell type stability equations for a cylindrical shell have been obtained. Then, employing Galerkin's method, those equations have been reduced to a time dependent differential equation with variable coefficient. Finally, for two initial conditions applying a Ritz type variational method, the critical static and dynamic axial loads, the corresponding wave numbers and dynamic factor have been found. Using those results, the effects of the variations of loading parameters and the variations of power of time in the axial load expression as well as the variations of the radius to thickness ratio on the critical parameters of the shells for two initial conditions are also elucidated. Comparing results with those in the literature validates the present analysis.

The objective of this analytical study is to calculate the elasto-plastic stresses of Functionally Graded (FG) hyperbolic disc subjected to uniform temperature. The material properties (elastic modulus, thermal expansion coefficient and yield strength) and the geometry (thickness) of the disc are assumed to vary radially with a power law function, but Poisson's ratio does not vary. FG disc material is assumed to be non-work hardening. Radial and tangential stresses are obtained for various thickness profile, temperature and material properties. The results indicate that thickness profile and volume fractions of constituent materials play very important role on the thermal stresses of the FG hyperbolic discs. It is seen that thermal stresses in a disc with variable thickness are lower than those with constant thickness at the same temperature. As a result of this, variations in the thickness profile increase the operation temperature. Moreover, thickness variation in the discs provides a significant weight reduction. A disc with lower rigidity at the inner surface according to the outer surface should be selected to obtain almost homogenous stress distribution and to increase resistance to temperature. So, discs, which have more rigid region at the outer surface, are more useful in terms of resistance to temperature.

Elasto-plastic finite element analysis of geotechnical boundary value problems necessitate the stress integration for the known strain increments. For the elasto-plastic constitutive model, the stress integration is generally achieved by numerical schemes, because analytical integration is impossible for general strain path. In this case, the accuracy of numerical stress integration has an important role on the overall accuracy of nonlinear finite element solution. In this study, the Sloan's substepping method which is one of explicit integration methods has been adopted and iris applicability has been checked. The unstability and inaccuracy of ifs results initiated from initial stress level were revealed. So. a new modified numerical integration method which employs the basic concept of modified Euler scheme for error control is proposed and accuracy and stability of the solutions are confirmed by triaxial test simulation.

Marine TEMA heat exchanger is the equipment to transfer the heat energy through both fluids that are enclosed separately by applying conduction and convection phenomena for a large vessels, Especially for heat exchanger working under the high temperature and high pressure, the expansion ratio should be taken into account other than under the low temperature and low pressure. This study was tried to find out the ideal expansion ratio through analyzing the elasto-plastic stress behavior of deformation while tubes are expanded with the finite element methods.

Several new versatile two-dimensional p-version finite elements are developed. The element matrices are integrated analytically to guarantee the accuracy and monotonic convergence of the predicted solutions of the proposed p-version elements. The analysis results show that the convergence rate of the present elements is very fast with respect to the number of additional Fourier or polynomial terms in shape functions, and their solutions are much more accurate than those of the linear finite elements for the same number of degrees of freedom. Additionally, the new p-version plate elements without the reduced integration can overcome the shear locking problem over the conventional h-version elements. Using the proposed p-version elements with fast convergent characteristic, the elasto-plastic impact of the structure attached with the absorber is simulated. Good agreement between the simulated and experimental results verifies the present p-version finite elements for the analyses of structural dynamic responses and the structural elasto-plastic impact. Further, using the elasto-plastic impact model and the p-version finite element method, the absorber of the T structure on the Qiantang River is designed for its collision protection.

In this paper, a parametric study on the influence of friction between materials on pull force in single clinching is conducted using an axisymmetric elasto-plastic finite element method and law of Coulomb friction. An appropriate finite element analysis model is given, which minimizes the effect of the material model and numerical factors including the number of quadrilateral finite elements and blank radius. It is emphasized that the elasto-plastic material model should be employed because the elastic deformation of the internal region is affected more by the pull force. It has been shown that the pull force increases as friction coefficient increases and that the optimized friction coefficient is around 0.4, which is qualitatively comparable with its theoretical value. When the friction coefficient reaches 0.5 in the example studied, the neck fracture is predicted.

A new finite shear wall element model and a method for calculation of 3D multi-storied only shear walled or shear walled - framed structures using finite shear wall elements assumed ideal elasto - plastic material are developed. The collapse load of the system subjected to factored constant gravity loads and proportionally increasing lateral loads is calculated with a method of load increments. The shape functions over the element are determined as a cubic variation along the story height and a linear variation in horizontal direction because of the rigid behavior of the floor slab. In case shear walls are chosen as only one element in every floor, correct solutions are obtained by using this developed element. Because of the rigid behavior of the floor slabs, the number of unknowns are reduced substantially. While in framed structures, classical plastic hinge hypothesis is used, in nodes of shear wall elements when vertical deformation parameter is exceeded ${\varepsilon}_e$, this node is accepted as a plastic node. While the system is calculated with matrix displacement method, for determination of collapse safety, plastic displacements and plastic deformations are taken as additional unknowns. Rows and columns are added to the system stiffness matrix for additional unknowns.
