Mitigating Effects in the Plastic Failure of Shells Subjected to Axially Dependent Dynamic Pressure Loadings

摘要

This is essentially a revised version of Report GH-15, July 1978. The revision was necessitated by recognition of the fact that the Vaughan-Florence analysis (J. Applied Mechanics, 1970), while correctly stating the governing membrane deflection equation, used, for numerical convenience, a simplified version, omitting a hoop restoring force term. This approach led to excessive deformations. The present report incorporates the hoop restoring term which in GH-15, following in the footsteps of VF, was omitted. The results now come out much more favorably than before. (ERA citation 04:054758)
