Abstract
A finite element formulation of the limit analysis of perfectly
plastic laterally loaded plates is given. An element
with linear moment fields for which equilibrium is satisfied
exactly is used in connection with an optimization algorithm
taking into account the full nonlinearity of the yield
criteria. Both load and material optimization problems
are formulated and by means of the duality theory of linear
programming the displacements are extracted from
the dual variables. Numerical examples demonstrating
the capabilities of the method and the effects of using a
more refined representation of the yield criteria are given.
