Abstract A new upper bound formulation of limit analysis two‐ and three‐dimensional solids is presented. In contrast to most discrete methods the present one formulated in terms stresses rather than velocities plastic multipliers. However, by means duality theory it shown that does indeed result rigorous solutions. Also, kinematically admissible discontinuities, which have previously been be very efficient, are given an interpretation stresses. This allows for a much simpler implementation...
The objective of this work is to present an adaptive remeshing procedure for lower bound limit analysis with application soil mechanics. Unlike conventional finite element meshes, a grid incorporates statically admissible stress discontinuities between adjacent elements. These permit large jumps over infinitesimal distance and reduce the number elements needed predict collapse load accurately. In general, role crucial as their arrangement distribution has dramatic influence on accuracy...
Abstract In this paper, numerical limit analysis is applied to evaluate the bearing capacity of a single rigid pile embedded in ponderable homogeneous cohesive‐frictionless soil subjected vertical, horizontal, and moment ( VHM ) loading combinations. All loads act same plane. Accurate lower upper bounds are calculated using finite element code . As gap between hardly exceeds , average load provides good estimate exact ultimate can be used with confidence for design purposes. By adopting...
