The procedure involves a deterministic shakedown analysis for each probabilistic iteration, which is based on the upper bound approach and the use of the exact Ilyushin yield surface. Probabilistic shakedown analysis deals with uncertainties originated from the loads, material strength and thickness of the shell. Based on a direct definition of the limit state function, the calculation of the failure probability may be efficiently solved by using the First and Second Order Reliability Methods (FORM and SORM). The problem of reliability of structural systems (series systems) is handled by the application of a special technique which permits to find all the design points corresponding to all the failure modes. Studies show, in this case, that it improves considerably the FORM and SORM results.}, language = {en} } @article{Staat2004, author = {Staat, Manfred}, title = {Plastic collapse analysis of longitudinally flawed pipes and vessels}, series = {Nuclear Engineering and Design. 234 (2004), H. 1-3}, journal = {Nuclear Engineering and Design. 234 (2004), H. 1-3}, isbn = {0029-5493}, pages = {25 -- 43}, year = {2004}, language = {en} } @article{StaatVu2004, author = {Staat, Manfred and Vu, Duc-Khoi}, title = {An Algorithm for Shakedown Analysis for Materials with Temperature Dependent Yield Stress}, series = {Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (PAMM). 4 (2004), H. 1}, journal = {Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (PAMM). 4 (2004), H. 1}, isbn = {1617-7061}, pages = {231 -- 233}, year = {2004}, language = {en} } @article{Staat2005, author = {Staat, Manfred}, title = {Local and global collapse pressure of longitudinally flawed pipes and cylindrical vessels}, series = {International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping. 82 (2005), H. 3}, journal = {International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping. 82 (2005), H. 3}, isbn = {0308-0161}, pages = {217 -- 225}, year = {2005}, language = {en} } @article{StaatHeitzer1997, author = {Staat, Manfred and Heitzer, M.}, title = {Limit and Shakedown Analysis for Plastic Safety of Complex Structures}, series = {Transactions of the 14th International Conference on Structural Dynamics in Reactor Technology (SMiRT-14) / Livolant, M.

A decreased amount of estrogen and progesterone in older age is assumed to remodel the collagen thereby reducing tissue stiffness. Sacrocolpopexy is either performed as open or laparoscopic surgery using prosthetic mesh implants to substitute lax ligaments. Y-shaped mesh models (DynaMesh, Gynemesh, and Ultrapro) are implanted in a 3D female pelvic floor finite element model in the extraperitoneal space from the vaginal cuff to the first sacral (S1) bone below promontory. Numerical simulations are conducted during Valsalva maneuver with weakened tissues modeled by reduced tissue stiffness. Tissues are modeled as incompressible, isotropic hyperelastic materials whereas the meshes are modeled either as orthotropic linear elastic or as isotropic hyperlastic materials. The positions of the vaginal cuff and the bladder base are calculated from the pubococcygeal line for female pelvic floor at rest, for prolapse and after repair using the three meshes. Due to mesh mechanics and mesh pore deformation along the loaded direction, the DynaMesh with regular rectangular mesh pores is found to provide better mechanical support to the organs than the Gynemesh and the Ultrapro with irregular hexagonal mesh pores.

Methods A total of 90 proximal phalanges from 30 specimens (index, ring, and middle fingers) were used for this study. After stripping off all soft tissue, a transverse distal epiphyseal fracture was simulated at the proximal phalanx. The 30 specimens were randomly assigned to 1 fixation technique (30 per technique), either a 3.0-mm intramedullary headless compression screw, locking plate fixation with a 2.0-mm T-plate, or 2 oblique 1.0-mm Kirschner wires. Displacement analysis (bending, distraction, and torsion) was performed using optical tracking of an applied random speckle pattern after osteosynthesis. Biomechanical testing was performed with increasing cyclic loading and with cyclic load to failure using a biaxial torsion-tension testing machine. Results Cannulated intramedullary compression screws showed significantly less displacement at the fracture site in torsional testing. Furthermore, screws were significantly more stable in bending testing. Kirschner wires were significantly less stable than plating or screw fixation in any cyclic load to failure test setup. Conclusions Intramedullary compression screws are a highly stable alternative in the treatment of transverse distal epiphyseal phalangeal fractures. Kirschner wires seem to be inferior regarding displacement properties and primary stability. Clinical relevance Fracture fixation of phalangeal fractures using plate osteosynthesis may have the advantage of a very rigid reduction, but disadvantages such as stiffness owing to the more invasive surgical approach and soft tissue irritation should be taken into account. Headless compression screws represent a minimally invasive choice for fixation with good biomechanical properties.}, language = {en} } @article{StaatSchwartzLangetal.2003, author = {Staat, Manfred and Schwartz, M. and Lang, H. and Wirtz, K. and Heitzer, M.}, title = {Design by Analysis of Pressure Components by non-linear Optimization}, series = {The 10th International Conference on Pressure Vessel Technology, July 7-10, 2003, Vienna, Austria, Proceedings ICPVT-10 / Zeman, J.

Here we perform 2D finite element analyses to compare the shear stresses and normal stresses in the tissue equivalent for the two meshes and to investigate their failure behavior. The results clearly show that the Gynecare TVT fails for increasing loads in a zipper-like manner because it gradually debonds from the surrounding tissue.
