Decomposition techniques for computational limit analysis

Limit analysis is relevant in many practical engineering areas such as the design of mechanical structure or the analysis of soil mechanics. The theory of limit analysis assumes a rigid, perfectly-plastic material to model the collapse of a solid that is subjected to a static load distribution. With...
