Hi all,

 Can anyone suggest me a good book for Limit Analysis (more specifically in the field of structural analysis)? I want to learn this method, so any book will be fine to study the concepts of limit analysis.

Thanks.

Why does abaqus show negative stresses?

I have modelled a crack in a curved shell and I don't quite understand why abaqus shows negative stresses?

Torque of Prismatic Beams of Piecewise Rectangular Cross Section

Submitted by CH von Kerczek on

I present in this note a finite difference method and Scilab computer programs to

numerically solve the Saint-Venant theory for torsion of prismatic beams (shafts, bars) of

piecewise rectangular cross section. The purpose of this note is mostly educational, for I

believe that it is quite instructive to not only solve these problems analytically whenever

possible but also explore solutions numerically of common configurations for which one

cannot readily obtain analytical solutions. The same kind of problems occur in heat transfer,
