On Theorems of Adaptation of Elastic-Plastic Structures

  • Chapter
Inelastic Behaviour of Structures under Variable Loads

Part of the book series: Solid Mechanics and Its Applications ((SMIA,volume 36))

Abstract

Based on a new consistent internal-variable theory of elasto-plasticity, the author’s idea of adaptation (SACZUK [1992]) is generalized to non-linear problems for elastic-plastic structures. The underlying theory of elastic-plastic behaviour of materials in which, among others, no yield rule and intermediate configuration are assumed to exist, where the transition from micro- to macroscales is natural, and where the constitutive relations do not need the so-called loading criteria, is modelled by a metric generalization of the Riemannian geometry. It is used to reformulate the known statical approaches to path-dependent adaptation. The new adaptation theorems proposed, which have no counterparts in the available literature, are generalization of known versions to the finite shakedown theorems.
