Abstract
Based on the lower‐bound shakedown theorem by Melan, a method to analyse pavements under cyclic, in particular, rolling contact loading is presented. Repeated sliding/rolling line contact as well as repeated stationary contact is considered. The material is assumed to be rate‐independent elastic–plastic. As yield conditions, the rounded Mohr–Coulomb and von Mises yield criteria are used, assuming associated flow rules. The proposed numerical method is based on finite elements, and the inherent optimization problem to determine the shakedown factors is solved using the interior‐point method. Several numerical results are presented and compared with the existing results in literatures. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

We investigate the performance of a sequential programming method, based on the linear matching method, for the direct evaluation of limit loads and shakedown limits for elastic-perfectly plastic bodies subjected to complex histories of loading. This end is achieved by solving a sequence of linear p

## Abstract The Zarka shakedown approach and the __h__‐adaptive finite element method are applied to evaluate residual stresses resulting from arbitrary cyclic loading. Two error indicators are used to refine the mesh: the explicit residual one which controls accuracy of the momentum balance and th
Unlike analyses performed to determine structural response to environmental loadings (i.e., wind or earthquake), where only a few of the lowest natural modes are assumed to participate in the overall response, mechanically induced loadings can excite higher-order modes and require solution of the in
