Abstract:

This article described a method for upper bound analysis. The whole process is based on nonlinear programming and linear finite elements. By solving a non-linear optimization problem, i. e., searching the minimum value of power dissipated by external forces, the upper bound loads can be obtained. The numerical examples suggest that this method is correct and practicable. It can obtain the upper bound limit load directly without considering the complicated stress strain relationship of c-O materials in traditional finite element method.

Key words: upper bound analysis, nonlinear programming, c-O materials
