Abstract

Abstract Using the lower-bound theorem of limit analysis, a yield criterion is obtained in terms of the stress resultants for a beam, subjected to combined twisting and biaxial bending moments. Based on a piecewise linear approximate yield condition, the “collapse load” is determined for a right-angle bent, subjected to a load in an arbitrary direction applied to the mid-point of one leg. Such a collapse load, which is a “safe load” for the beam, is plotted as a function of a suitable parameter.
