We consider the problem of the incipient plastic failure of a two-dimensional rectangular block of yield stress material under plane strain conditions and gravitational loading. The block is assumed to behave as a perfectly rigid-plastic material obeying the Tresca yield condition. There is no tract

β¦ Synopsis
We consider the incipient failure of a circular cylinder under gravitational loading. Axisymmetric slip-line ΓΏeld theory is used to solve for the stress distribution in the plastic region of the cylinder at incipient failure. This extends similar work on the incipient failure of a rectangular block under gravity (Int. J. Mech. Sci. 43(3) (2000) 793), to the axisymmetric geometry. Our calculations show that the height of incipient failure depends not only on the yield stress and density of the material, but also on the radius of the cylinder and the coe cient of friction at the base. In addition, we ΓΏnd that there exists a critical coe cient of friction above which the height of incipient failure is una ected. These results suggest a method of measuring the yield stress by observing the height of incipient failure.

An exact analysis of deformation and stress field in a finite circular elastic cylinder under its own weight is presented, with emphasis on the end effect. The problem is formulated on the basis of the state space formalism for axisymmetric deformation of a transversely isotropic body. Upon delineat
