Abstract: It is clear from a survey of literature on the dynamic deformation of rigid-plastic plates that most work has been focused on plates in which either membrane forces or bending moments alone ...

Abstract: A relatively simple analytical treatment of the behavior of a rigid-plastic annular plate subjected to an initial linear impulsive velocity profile is presented. The influence of finite deflections ...

Abstract: It is shown herein how simple rigid-plastic methods may be used to predict the large inelastic deformations of fully clamped beams loaded impulsively, and to estimate the threshold velocities ...

Abstract: The creep buckling behavior of a complete spherical shell which is subjected to a uniform external pressure is investigated using a perturbation method of analysis. The spherical shell has an ...

Abstract: Theoretical solutions are developed herein for the dynamic plastic structural response of some ideal fibre-reinforced (strongly anisotropic) beams with boundary conditions and external dynamic ...

Abstract: A theoretical investigation is herein undertaken in order to examine the response of circular cylindrical shells subjected to dynamic loads of an intensity sufficient to cause large permanent ...

Abstract: An approximate rigid-plastic method of analysis which may be used in order to estimate the behavior of various shell intersections subjected to large dynamic loads is presented herein. In ...

Abstract: This article contains a review of the literature, which has been published recently, on the dynamic plastic behavior of simple structures. The dynamic loads cause large plastic strains which ...

Abstract: The theoretical elastic stress distribution is presented for a thin flat plate of finite width which contains an elliptical hole. Various uniaxial and biaxial in-plane loads are applied to the ...

Abstract: The theoretical foundation of Youngdahl’s correlation parameters, which have been used to eliminate pulse shape effects in the dynamic plastic response of two-dimensional structural members, is ...
