Method for calculating the strength of massive structural elements in the general case of their stress-strain state (kinematic method)

Abstract
A variant of the kinematic method of the theory of limit equilibrium is proposed; massive structural elements are considered, the material of which, in the general case, is anisotropic.
A rigid-plastic model of a deformable solid body is adopted. It is assumed that massive structural ele-ments are destroyed by dividing into parts that deform relatively little (“absolutely rigid finite ele-ments”, ARFE) and have 6 degrees of freedom in three-dimensional space. The process of destruction of the material goes along infinitely thin generalized destruction surfaces (GDS), on which the work of all acting internal force factors (IFF) is taken into account – 9 forces and 9 moments. Bodies made of homogeneous isotropic materials that resist tension and compression in different ways are considered. The strength surfaces in the IFF space are described by the corresponding parametric equations.
Using the equilibrium equation in the Lagrange form and the Mises maximum principle, as well as the proposed parametric equations of the limiting surface, the problem of determining the minimum value of the possible kinematic parameter of the load is reduced to a standard linear programming problem (LP), which is solved using the simplex method.

Method for calculating the strength of massive structural elements in the general case of their stress-strain state (parametric equations of the strength surface)

https://doi.org/10.58224/2618-7183-2023-6-2-104-120
Abstract
In the mechanics of a deformable solid, there are rods (one overall dimension of which is significantly larger than the other two), plates and shells (one dimension of which is significantly smaller than the other two), arrays (all three dimensions of which are of the same order). The complexity of the corresponding calculation models grows in the same order: the calculation models for rods and rod systems are relatively simple, the most complex are the calculation models for massive structural elements.
In the work, parametric equations of the strength surface in the space of internal force factors (IFF) are obtained – 9 forces and 9 moments for homogeneous anisotropic bodies. As special cases, similar equations are given for isotropic bodies that resist tension and compression differently, for isotropic bodies that equally resist tension and compression. Algorithm A1 for constructing the desired sections of strength surfaces given by parametric equations is proposed. Algorithm A2 is proposed for deter-mining the safety factors for the bearing capacity, remaining in the space of the IFF. Some examples of calculations made using the proposed equations, algorithms and the corresponding computer programs compiled on their basis are given.
The proposed method for calculating massive bodies allows a more realistic assessment of the bearing capacity of massive structural elements.
