Summary
This paper presents the results of a study to evaluate certain features of interest in the failure assessment diagram (FAD). The concept of one universal calibration curve of interpolation between the two extremes of linear elastic and plastic collapse behavior is examined. One universal curve is implicit in the Dugdale strip yield elastic-plastic model, and this is examined in the light of trends that other elastic-plastic models suggest. Material work hardening, variable constraint, and geometry were identified as variables to consider by the other models. However, in some cases the universal calibration curve concept is not appreciably affected by these additional variables.
