Collapse loads of circular orthotropic plates using mathematical programming approach
Abstract
The determination of the collapse loads of thin circular orthotropic rigid-plastic plates under axisymmetric loading is cast as a mathematical programming problem using the static theorem of plasticity. A finite difference scheme is used to discretize the equilibrium equations which, when combined with the piecewise linear yield conditions, gives a linear programming formulation.
