Abstract: The analysis developed in this article is a logical extension, or generalization, of Von Karman’s original theory [1] on curved pipe bends. It can be shown, for long-radius pipe bends which ...

Abstract: The phenomenon of dynamic buckling is examined when the influence of material strain-rate sensitivity is retained in the basic equations for a simple elastic-plastic model with linear strain ...

Abstract: An experimental study is reported on the ductile deformation and perforation of plates struck at the center by solid cylindrical projectiles having the longitudinal axis normal to the plate ...

Abstract: An experimental study into the ductile deformations and static and impact perforation of mild steel plates is reported in Part I. These results are discussed in this article and compared with ...

Abstract: A theoretical study has been made into the elastic behavior of a joint formed by the normal intersection of a right circular cylindrical shell with another of larger diameter. The wall of ...

Abstract: This article presents some experimental data recorded from 54 impact tests on pressurized mild steel pipes. The pipes were fully clamped across a span which was ten times the outside pipe ...

Abstract: An approximate quasi-static theoretical analysis is presented for the behavior of punch-impact-loaded metal plates. Based on the principle of virtual work, load-deflection relationships are first ...

Abstract: Eight shear wall specimens sheathed with 11 mm structural oriented strand board panels were assembled with overdriven sheathing nails and tested using a pseudo-dynamic procedure. Specimens used 38×89 mm Douglas Fir-Larch ...
