ASME Section VIII Division 2 Part 5- Terminologies and their actual physics 1

[NRP99]

I have quite experience in solving design by analysis problems using ANSYS following ASME Section VIII Division 2 Part 5 rules. I know by practice some of the terminologies of the PART 5 and their physical phenomenon. But some terminologies and failure modes of the code I am yet to grasp fully. For example, following are the failure modes which I know partially and want to add more knowledge.
1)Shakedown-elastic and plastic
2)Ratcheting
I have sufficient knowledge of FEA. I have referred para 5.12 of code for the definition of the terms but as you all know, it is insufficient. I want to increase my knowledge and dig deeper about part 5 in general way (You can say Physics behind the Part 5 analyses, their requirements and requirement of setting of particular allowable stresses as well as loads for elastic plastic analysis) by using some reference books/papers/articles/guidebooks. Also most of the analysis involves material plasticity. Please suggest some good material for reference to start for Part 5 analyses (to understand actual physics behind the analysis and not the analysis examples) as well as some good reference material on material plasticity.

Thank you.

The best place to start is ASME PTB-1 (2014), and the original Criteria Document included in PTB-1 as an Annex.

You can also search the various fora on eng-tips.com, too.

Thank you TGS4.

Would you please suggest anything in addition to above and references/books on material plasticity?

Thanks again for your recommendation and for your past posts on design by analysis problems in this forum. They are very valuable and cleared some doubts.

I can't of any books on the topic (there aren't any). But if you have specific questions, I'd be happy to answer if I can.

OK.

I will post specific questions as and when required. Thank you.
