Analytical and Experimental Investigation of the Elastic and Plastic Behavior of Plates on Foundations Subjected to Dynamic Punch Loading

摘要

Analytical solutions and experimental results are presented for the response of foundation-backed plates to static and dynamic punch loading. Tests were performed on polyurethane foam-backed and unbacked plates; plates were centrally loaded over a range-in plastic deformations up to complete failure. This is part of an attempt to understand the puncture resistance of the sidewalls of containers used to ship hazardous wastes. (ERA citation 06:004012)
