To this end it is important to make a clear distinction between the shakedown range and the ratcheting range. In cyclic plasticity more sophisticated hardening models have been suggested in order to model the strain evolution observed in ratcheting experiments. The hardening models used in shakedown analysis are comparatively simple. It is shown that shakedown analysis can make quite stable predictions of admissible load ranges despite the simplicity of the underlying hardening models. A linear and a nonlinear kinematic hardening model of two-surface plasticity are compared in material shakedown analysis. Both give identical or similar shakedown ranges. Structural shakedown analyses show that the loading may have a more pronounced effect than the hardening model.}, subject = {Biomedizinische Technik}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{StaatHeitzer2000, author = {Staat, Manfred and Heitzer, Michael}, title = {Direct static FEM approach to limit and shakedown analysis}, year = {2000}, abstract = {Safety and reliability of structures may be assessed indirectly by stress distributions. Limit and shakedown theorems are simplified but exact methods of plasticity that provide safety factors directly in the loading space. These theorems may be used for a direct definition of the limit state function for failure by plastic collapse or by inadaptation. In a FEM formulation the limit state function is obtained from a nonlinear optimization problem. This direct approach reduces considerably the necessary knowledge of uncertain technological input data, the computing time, and the numerical error. Moreover, the direct way leads to highly effective and precise reliability analyses. The theorems are implemented into a general purpose FEM program in a way capable of large-scale analysis.}, subject = {Einspielen }, language = {en} } @article{Staat2004, author = {Staat, Manfred}, title = {Plastic collapse analysis of longitudinally flawed pipes and vessels}, year = {2004}, abstract = {Improved collapse loads of thick-walled, crack containing pipes and vessels are suggested.

The comparison includes peak values of the magnetic field Hmax, its derivative (dH/dt)max and of induced voltages umax in typical cable routings. The experiments are performed at a 1:6 scaled building and the results are extrapolated using the similarity relations theory. The calculations are based on the approximate formulae given in IEC 62305-4 and have to be supplemented by a rough estimation of the additional shielding effect of a second reinforcement layer. The comparison shows, that the measured peak values of the magnetic field and its derivative are mostly lower than the calculated. The induced voltages are in good agreement. Hence, calculations of the induced voltages based on IEC 62305-4 are a good method for lightning protection studies of buildings, where the reinforcement is used as a grid-like electromagnetic shield.}, subject = {Blitz}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ZischankHeidlerWiesingeretal.2004, author = {Zischank, Wolfgang J. and Heidler, Fridolin and Wiesinger, J. and Stimper, K. and Kern, Alexander and Seevers, M.}, title = {Magnetic Fields and Induced Voltages inside LPZ 1 Measured at a 1:6 Scale Model Building}, year = {2004}, abstract = {Laborexperimente zu Blitzschutzzonen in Stahlbetongeb{\"a}uden anhand eines Modells im Maßstab 1:6}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DarvenizaFlisowskiKernetal.2002, author = {Darveniza, M. and Flisowski, Z. and Kern, Alexander and Landers, E.-U. and LoPiparo, G. and Mazzetti, C. and Rousseau, A. and Sherlock, J.}, title = {Application problems of the probabilistic approach to the assessment of risk for structures and services}, year = {2002}, abstract = {The paper deals with the development of the probabilistic approach to the assessment of risk due to lightning.
