Abstract
In this paper, the duality between the lower and the upper bound shakedown analyses of plate bending is presented. Based on the duality theory, the shakedown load multiplier formulated by static theorem is proved actually to be the dual form of the shakedown load multiplier formulated by kinematic theorem. A dual algorithm based upon the von Mises yield criterion and a nonβlinear optimization procedure is then developed to compute simultaneously both the upper and lower bounds of the plastic collapse limit and the shakedown limit. The DKQ plate bending element is used to discrete the problem field. Numerical examples are presented to show the excellent convergence and accuracy of solutions obtained by the present method.

In this paper, a six-node triangular C 0 plate bending element is developed by the assumed natural strain method. In the element, all the sampled natural transverse shear strains are chosen such that the latter has a favourable constraint index and the strains are optimized with respect to a linear
The alternative to quadrature, as a procedure for dealing with the integrations required in the direct boundary element method (DBEM), is to carry out the integration analytically and code the results directly. The potential benefits are efficicnt computer programs; the avoidance of numerical instab
