Pavement and railtrack design is of huge importance to society and yet the theoretical basis
for most current design methods is still very simplistic and crude (Brown, 1996; Yu, 2006) …

This paper develops analytical solutions for shakedown limits of a cohesive-frictional half-
space under a three-dimensional moving surface load. Melan's lower-bound shakedown …

Based on the lower-bound shakedown theorem by Melan, a method to analyse pavements
under cyclic, in particular, rolling contact loading is presented. Repeated sliding/rolling line …

Previous work on three‐dimensional shakedown analysis of cohesive‐frictional materials
under moving surface loads has been entirely for isotropic materials. As a result, the effects …

This paper has been prepared in memory of Professor Scott Sloan. It first presents a brief
review of the development of shakedown analysis methods for pavement and railway …

In this paper, a numerical method based on shakedown theory has been developed to
calculate shakedown load limits of flexible pavements under moving surface loads. The …

Shakedown theory is often used to analyse elastic–plastic responses of structures subjected
to variable or repeated loads. In pavement engineering, it has been used to predict the …

The problem of rolling and sliding contact of a cylinder on the surface of a half-space of
cohesive-frictional material is considered. Three shakedown multipliers, of which two are …

The problem of estimating bounds to shakedown loads for problems governed by a class of
deviatoric plasticity models including those of Hill, von Mises, and Tresca is addressed …

In this paper, shakedown of a cohesive-frictional half space subjected to moving surface
loads is investigated using Melan's static shakedown theorem. The material in the half space …
