A detailed finite element study of stable crack growth in elastic-perfectly plastic solids obeying an incremental plasticity theory and the Huber-Von Mises yield criterion is performed under plane stress, small-scale yielding conditions. A nodal release procedure is used to simulate crack extension under continuously increasing external load. It is found that the asymptotic angular extent of the active plastic zone surrounding the moving crack tip is from θ = 0 deg to about θ = 45 deg. Clear evidence of an elastic unloading region following the active plastic zone is found, but no secondary (plastic) reloading is numerically observed. The near-tip angular stress distribution inside the active plastic zone is in good agreement with the variation inside a centered fan, as predicted by a preliminary asymptotic analysis by Rice. It is also observed that the stress components within the plastic zone have a strong radial variation. The nature of the near-tip profile is studied in detail.

AbstractIn order to correctly model the behaviour of a building under load, it is necessary to take into account the displacement of the subsoil under the foundations. The subsoil is a material with typically non-linear behaviour. This paper presents an example of the modelling of a tall, 14-storey, building located in Lublin. The building was constructed on loess subsoil, with the use of a base slab. The subsoil lying directly beneath the foundations was described using the Modified Cam-Clay model, while the linear elastic perfectly plastic model with the Coulomb-Mohr failure criterion was used for the deeper subsoil. The parameters of the subsoil model were derived on the basis of the results of CPT soundings and laboratory oedometer tests. In numerical FEM analyses, the floors of the building were added in subsequent calculation steps, simulating the actual process of building construction. The results of the calculations involved the displacements taken in the subsequent calculation steps, which were compared with the displacements of 14 geodetic benchmarks placed in the slab.
