In this study, both the lower and upper bound shakedown limits of a closed-end composite cylinder with or without a cross-hole subject to constant internal pressure and a cyclic thermal gradient are calculated by the linear matching method. Convergence for the upper and lower bound shakedown limits of the composite cylinders is sought and shakedown limit interaction diagrams of the numerical applications identifying the regions of reverse plasticity limit and ratchet limit are presented. The effects of temperature-dependent yield stress, material discontinuities, composite cylinder thickness, and the existence of the cross-hole on the shakedown limits are discussed for different geometry parameters. Finally, a safety shakedown envelope is created by formulating the shakedown limit results of different composite materials and cylinder thickness ratios with different cross-hole sizes.

In 2003 ASME PVP conference, a series of numerical procedures for integrity assessment based upon recently developed Linear Matching Method were presented [1]. A typical example of holed plate was used to verify these procedures for the evaluation of plastic and creep behaviours of complex geometry components based on linear solutions, which can be easily implemented into the commercial FE code ABAQUS through user subroutines. In this paper, a more complex 3D tubeplate in a typical AGR superheater header is analysed for the shakedown limit, reverse plasticity, ratchet limit and creep relaxation based on application of the Linear Matching Method. Both the perfectly plastic model and the cyclic hardening model are adopted for the evaluation of the plastic strain range. For the evaluation of accumulated creep strains, flow stresses and elastic follow-up factors with differing dwell times at the steady cyclic state, a creep-reverse plasticity model is adopted. The total inelastic strain range over the cycle at the steady cyclic state is calculated. By comparing these results with ABAQUS step-by-step inelastic analyses, the applicability of the methods is verified.

Based upon the kinematic theorem of Koiter, the Linear Matching Method (LMM) procedure has been proved to produce very accurate upper bound shakedown limits. This paper presents a recently developed LMM lower bound procedure for shakedown analysis of structures with temperature-dependent yield stress, which is implemented into ABAQUS using the same procedure as for upper bounds. According to the Melan’s theorem, a direct algorithm has been carried out to determine the lower bound of shakedown limit using the best residual stress field calculated during the LMM upper bound procedure with displacement-based finite elements. By checking the yield condition at every integration point, the lower bound is calculated by the obtained static field at each iteration, with the upper bound given by the obtained kinematic field. A number of numerical examples confirm the applicability of this procedure and ensure that the upper and lower bounds are expected to converge to the theoretical solution after a number of iterations.

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>Huanglongbing (HLB) is a disease of citrus that caused by phloem-restricted bacteria of the Candidatus Liberibacter group. In this paper, we present a HLB transmission model to investigate the effects of temperature-dependent latent periods and seasonality on the spread of HLB. We first establish disease free dynamics in terms of a threshold value <inline-formula><tex-math id="M1">\begin{document}$ R^p_0 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>, and then introduce the basic reproduction number <inline-formula><tex-math id="M2">\begin{document}$ \mathcal{R}_0 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> and show the threshold dynamics of HLB with respect to <inline-formula><tex-math id="M3">\begin{document}$ R^p $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> and <inline-formula><tex-math id="M4">\begin{document}$ \mathcal{R}_0 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>. Numerical simulations are further provided to illustrate our analytic results.</p>
