Abstract: A plastic buckling analysis for axially compressed square tubes is described in this paper. Deformation theory is used together with the realistic edge conditions for the panels of the tube ...

Abstract: The buckling behavior of axially compressed square tubes is investigated by introducing realistic edge conditions for the panels which correspond to symmetry or antisymmetry in the modes of ...

Abstract: A theoretical model is constructed for a large-deflection analysis of a rigid, perfectly-plastic cantilever with a tip mass loaded by a transverse follower force pulse. The purpose of building and analyzing such a model ...

Abstract: In a companion paper, the effects of large deflections were evaluated for plastic deformation of a cantilever beam under a transverse force pulse applied at its tip. Here, the effect of material elasticity is introduced ...

Abstract: The three-dimensional, dynamic, elastic-plastic response of a right-angle bent cantilever pipe, with an initially uniform, circular cross section, subjected to out-of-plane loading is examined using ...

Abstract: The dynamic elastic-plastic behavior of a bent cantilever pipe subjected to an in-plane force pulse at its tip is described. A theoretical model based on a large deflection formulation of ...

Abstract: Fleck and Deshpande (FD) proposed an analytical model to encapsulate the response of clamped sandwich beams to blast loadings in air and under water. Four pertinent issues, viz., (1) application ...

Abstract: The present paper provides an analysis of the response of a right-angled bent cantilever beam subjected to an out-of-plane impulsive load (i.e., suddenly imposed velocity) applied to concentrated ...
