They play a significant role in mechanical and civil engineering design. The concept of direct methods aims to determine the ultimate load carrying capacity of structures beyond the elastic range. In practical problems, the direct methods lead to nonlinear convex optimization problems with a large number of variables and constraints. If strength and loading are random quantities, the shakedown analysis can be formulated as stochastic programming problem. In this paper, a method called chance constrained programming is presented, which is an effective method of stochastic programming to solve shakedown analysis problems under random conditions of strength. In this study, the loading is deterministic, and the strength is a normally or lognormally distributed variable.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{TranTranMatthiesetal.2016, author = {Tran, Ngoc Trinh and Tran, Thanh Ngoc and Matthies, Hermann G. and Stavroulakis, Georgios Eleftherios and Staat, Manfred}, title = {FEM Shakedown of uncertain structures by chance constrained programming}, series = {PAMM Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics}, volume = {16}, booktitle = {PAMM Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics}, number = {1}, issn = {1617-7061}, doi = {10.1002/pamm.201610346}, pages = {715 -- 716}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @article{JildehKirchnerOberlaenderetal.2017, author = {Jildeh, Zaid B. and Kirchner, Patrick and Oberl{\"a}nder, Jan and Kremers, Alexander and Wagner, Torsten and Wagner, Patrick H. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {FEM-based modeling of a calorimetric gas sensor for hydrogen peroxide monitoring}, series = {physica status solidi a : applications and materials sciences}, journal = {physica status solidi a : applications and materials sciences}, number = {Early View}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1862-6319}, doi = {10.1002/pssa.201600912}, year = {2017}, abstract = {A physically coupled finite element method (FEM) model is developed to study the response behavior of a calorimetric gas sensor.

The initial yield surface can translate inside the bounding surface, and it is bounded by one of the two equivalent conditions: (1) it always stays inside the bounding surface or (2) its centre cannot move outside the back-stress surface. The algorithm gives an effective tool to analyze the problems with a very high number of degree of freedom.
