A nonlinear programming approach to kinematic shakedown analysis of frictional materials

This paper develops a novel nonlinear numerical method to perform shakedown analysis of structures subjected to variable loads by means of nonlinear programming techniques and the displacement-based finite element method. The analysis is based on a general yield function which can take the form of m...
