Abstract: The elastic-plastic buckling of 6061-T4 aluminum, circular cylindrical shells is examined experimentally and analytically. Groups of shells with radius-to-thickness ratios of 100, 200, and 300 were ...

Abstract: The elastic-plastic response of 6061-T6 aluminum beams is examined experimentally and analytically. Simply supported beams are loaded with half-sine wave, short-duration magnetic pressure pulses and ...

Abstract: Radial expansion and subsequent fracture into segments of thin-walled cylindrical shells at large initial strain rates are studied analytically and experimentally. The theory of probability along ...
