Abstract
The paper first states the basic theorems of rigid-perfectly plastic limit analysis, proofs and details being given in appendices 1 and 2. It then explains how to base the description of structures on the theorem of virtual powers. Application to beams in bending follows, again with appendices 3 and 4 for details. Plates, shells and disks are briefly considered, the general solutions process being illustrated on circular plates examples. Multiple loading, optimal design and post-yield behaviour are then examined very rapidly. Experimental verification of the theory is discussed and the paper ends with remarks on the development of the numerical approach.
