Impact loading of plates and shells by free-flying projectiles: A review

Development of a further-miniaturized specimen of 3 mm diameter for tem disk (ø 3 mm) small punch tests

A series of experiments has been conducted, utilizing sheet explosive opplied to clamped aluminum beams, with a neoprene buffer. As the load is monotonically increased, three damage modes are identified, which respecitively are major inelastic deformation, tearing at the extreme fiber, and transverse shear at the support.Satisfactory correlation is reported for the extent of inelastic deformation using a lumped parameter, finite-difference code; thresholds for tearing and shear failure based on empirical criteria are presented. Using a Timoshenko beam theory, the shear threshold appears to be dependent on the section velocity, rather than upon the shear stress.

Broken beams: Tearing and shear failures in explosively loaded clamped beams

Deformation of thin plates subjected to impulsive loading—A review

The ability of a structural assembly to carry loads and forces determines how stable it will be over time. Viewing structural assemblages as comprising columns, beams, arches, rings, and plates, this book will introduce the student to both a classical and advanced understanding of the mechanical behavior of such structural systems under load and how modeling the resulting strains can predict the overall future performance?the stability?of that structure. While covering traditional beam theory, the book is more focused on elastica theory in keeping with modern approaches. This text will be an expanded and updated version a similar, previously published book, but with pedagogical improvements and updated analytical methods. This engineering textbook will provide a focused treatment on the study of how structures behave and perform when under stress loading, including plastic deformation and buckling. All advanced engineering students studying engineering mechanics, structural analysis and design, fatigue and failure, and other related subjects need to have this knowledge, and this book will provide it in a thorough and coherent fashion. Written by two of the world?s leading engineering professors in this subject area, the pedagogy has been classroom-tested over many years and should find a receptive readership among both students and instructors.
