The nonlinearity is shown to be a combination of brittle and plastic failure.
Three key failure modes were identified for the eccentrically loaded gusset plate connections, namely, Gusset Splice Interactive Plastic Failure (G SIPF), Splice Plastic Failure (SPF), and Gusset Plate Buckling (GPB).
The initial plastic failure of fully clamped geometrical asymmetric metal foam core sandwich beams is analytically and experimentally investigated.
Conversely, for designs controlled by buckling (either elastic or plastic) failure initiation is immediately followed by softening.
It is found that previously proposed plastic criteria do not fully represent the effect of the hardening material model on the development of the plastic failure mechanism.
Based on both the fracture specimen and stress strain curve, the failure mode of the specimen could be divided into two stages: brittle fracture and plastic failure.
We investigate the plastic failure of a 3D auxetic strut lattice under uniaxial and transverse loads in order to complement ongoing research in miniaturized strut-based sandwich cores.
Plastic failure models derived with respect to two physical parameters (packing parameter and relative density) which control the negative Poisson's ratio compare well with numerical data.
Soil models with and without consideration of plastic failure are introduced to capture the behavior of loose and dense soil terrain.
Plastic failure caused by variable loads is a critical design concern for fibre-reinforced metal matrix composites when the matrix is very soft.
For small slenderness ratio, the panel is failed by plastic failure mechanism, where the analysis quantifies the influence of thermal distortion to the reduction of load-bearing capacity.
