The hardening model is a simple two-surface model of plasticity with a fixed bounding surface. 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. Our numerical results are very close to the analytical solutions and numerical solutions in literature.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{PhamStaat2015, author = {Pham, Phu Tinh and Staat, Manfred}, title = {A simplification for shakedown analysis of hardening structures}, series = {Conference proceedings of the YIC GACM 2015 : 3rd ECCOMAS Young Investigators Conference and 6th GACM Colloquium on Computational Mechanics , Aachen , Germany, 20.07.2015 - 23.07.2015 / ed.: Stefanie Elgeti ; Jaan-Willem Simon}, booktitle = {Conference proceedings of the YIC GACM 2015 : 3rd ECCOMAS Young Investigators Conference and 6th GACM Colloquium on Computational Mechanics , Aachen , Germany, 20.07.2015 - 23.07.2015 / ed.: Stefanie Elgeti ; Jaan-Willem Simon}, publisher = {RWTH Aachen University}, address = {Aachen}, organization = {ECCOMAS Young Investigators Conference <3, 2015, Aachen>}, pages = {1 -- 4}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{PhamNguyenStaat2012, author = {Pham, Phu Tinh and Nguyen, Thanh Ngoc and Staat, Manfred}, title = {FEM based shakedown analysis of hardening structures}, series = {Proceedings International Conference on Advances in Computational Mechanics (ACOME)}, booktitle = {Proceedings International Conference on Advances in Computational Mechanics (ACOME)}, pages = {870 -- 882}, year = {2012}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Pham2011, author = {Pham, Phu Tinh}, title = {Upper bound limit and shakedown analysis of elastic-plastic bounded linearly kinematic hardening structures}, publisher = {RWTH Aachen University}, address = {Aachen}, pages = {140 S.}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @article{PeloniDachwaldCeriotti2017, author = {Peloni, Alessandro and Dachwald, Bernd and Ceriotti, Matteo}, title = {Multiple near-earth asteroid rendezvous mission: Solar-sailing options}, series = {Advances in Space Research}, journal = {Advances in Space Research}, number = {In Press, Corrected Proof}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0273-1177}, doi = {10.1016/j.asr.2017.10.017}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{PeloniDachwaldCeriotti2017, author = {Peloni, Alessandro and Dachwald, Bernd and Ceriotti, Matteo}, title = {Multiple NEA rendezvous mission: Solar sailing options}, series = {Fourth International Symposium on Solar Sailing}, booktitle = {Fourth International Symposium on Solar Sailing}, pages = {1 -- 11}, year = {2017}, abstract = {The scientific interest in near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) and the classification of some of those as potentially hazardous asteroid for the Earth stipulated the interest in NEA exploration. Close-up observations of these objects will increase drastically our knowledge about the overall NEA population. For this reason, a multiple NEA rendezvous mission through solar sailing is investigated, taking advantage of the propellantless nature of this groundbreaking propulsion technology. Considering a spacecraft based on the DLR/ESA Gossamer technology, this work focuses on the search of possible sequences of NEA encounters. The effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated through a number of fully-optimized trajectories. The results show that it is possible to visit five NEAs within 10 years with near-term solar-sail technology. Moreover, a study on a reduced NEA database demonstrates the reliability of the approach used, showing that 58\% of the sequences found with an approximated trajectory model can be converted into real solar-sail trajectories. Lastly, this second study shows the effectiveness of the proposed automatic optimization algorithm, which is able to find solutions for a large number of mission scenarios without any input required from the user.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{PeloniCeriottiDachwald2015, author = {Peloni, Alessandro and Ceriotti, Matteo and Dachwald, Bernd}, title = {Solar-Sailing Trajectory Design for Close-up NEA Observations Mission}, series = {4th IAA Planetary Defense Conference - PDC 2015, 13-17 April 2015, Frascati, Roma, Italy}, booktitle = {4th IAA Planetary Defense Conference - PDC 2015, 13-17 April 2015, Frascati, Roma, Italy}, pages = {21 S.}, year = {2015}, language = {de} } @article{PeloniCeriottiDachwald2016, author = {Peloni, Alessandro and Ceriotti, Matteo and Dachwald, Bernd}, title = {Solar-sail trajectory design for a multiple near-earth-asteroid rendezvous mission}, series = {Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics}, volume = {39}, journal = {Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics}, number = {12}, publisher = {AIAA}, address = {Reston, Va.}, issn = {0731-5090}, doi = {10.2514/1.G000470}, pages = {2712 -- 2724}, year = {2016}, abstract = {The scientific interest for near-Earth asteroids as well as the interest in potentially hazardous asteroids from the perspective of planetary defense led the space community to focus on near-Earth asteroid mission studies. A multiple near-Earth asteroid rendezvous mission with close-up observations of several objects can help to improve the characterization of these asteroids. This work explores the design of a solar-sail spacecraft for such a mission, focusing on the search of possible sequences of encounters and the trajectory optimization. This is done in two sequential steps: a sequence search by means of a simplified trajectory model and a set of heuristic rules based on astrodynamics, and a subsequent optimization phase. A shape-based approach for solar sailing has been developed and is used for the first phase. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated through a fully optimized multiple near-Earth asteroid rendezvous mission.
