摘要
We propose a numerical method for the computation of shakedown loads of engineering structures subjected to varying thermo-mechanical loading. The method is based on Melan's lower bound shakedown theorem using the von Mises yield criterion. The resulting nonlinear convex optimization problem is presented in a generalized formulation and then solved by an interior-point algorithm, which is characterized by a problem-tailored solution strategy, particularly suitable for application to large-scale engineering structures. Theoretical and numerical issues of the algorithm are described. It's efficiency is shown by application to thermo-mechanical problems from power plant engineering. The results are compared to those found in literature as well as to calculations with other optimization codes LANCELOT. IPOPT and IPDCA. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
