The preceding chapter was concerned with basic assumptions and theorems used in limit analysis. In the following two chapters we shall discuss in more detail some of the basic techniques of applying ...

When more than one value in a calculation has been rounded, the upper or lower bounds for each value should be used in the calculation to find the greatest or least possible values that the ...

To describe all the possible values that a rounded number could be, we use lower and upper bounds. The lower bound is the smallest value that would round up to the estimated value. The upper bound ...

Calculation of exact forces to cause plastic deformation in metal forming processes is often difficult. Exact solutions must be both statically and kinematically admissible. That means they must be ...
