Simplified Theory of Plastic Zones

Meer over het boek

Focusing on a novel approach to estimating elastic-plastic strains, this book introduces the Simplified Theory of Plastic Zones (STPZ), which facilitates life prediction of structures under variable loads in engineering. It emphasizes the cyclic deformation and elastic-plastic strain ranges necessary for analysis. The STPZ is thoroughly explained, making it accessible for engineers and advanced students alike, with numerous illustrations and examples to enhance comprehension of its applications and limitations.
