Abstract: The large deflection elastic-plastic bending of a circular plate subjected to radially outward acting bending moments uniformly distributed around its circumference is analyzed, and computer programs ...

Abstract: To simulate the response of a pin-ended elastic-plastic beam, a nonlinear structural model, i.e., a double-tier-spring model is analyzed to follow its deformation process after it is subjected ...

Abstract: The World Trade Center collapse has brought attention to progressive collapse of tall buildings and the study of possible countermeasures. From the viewpoint of energy transfer, this analysis explains why the collapse could ...

Abstract: The possibility of promoting out-of-plane elastic buckling in thin disk rotary forming and in ring rolling, by the application of load through forming tools applied over a small sectional element ...

Abstract: In a particular example of short pulse loading on a pin-ended beam, the permanent deflection is predicted by a numerical solution to be in the direction opposite that of the load. Analysis ...

Abstract: This paper examines a projectile impact on a rigid-plastic beam with cracks at the fully clamped ends. By assuming the cracked sections yield immediately after impact, a three-hinge/two-hinge ...

Abstract: This paper reviews some topics related to the advances and applications of structural impact dynamics in recent years. Dynamic behavior of structural members including tubes, beams and plates ...

Abstract: The stress–strain relationship for uniaxial compression of a metal hollow sphere material in large strains is obtained using a simplified model for the spheres’ deformation within a 3D block ...

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 ...
