On the Dynamic Strength of Rigid-Plastic Beams under Blast Loads
Publication: Journal of the Engineering Mechanics Division
Volume 83, Issue 4
Abstract
Upper bounds to the dynamic strength of simply-supported beams acted upon by a uniformly distributed blast pressure are obtained under the assumption of rigid-plastic behavior in bending and/or in shear (development of plastic hinges and/or plastic slides). The time variation of the blast pressure is approximated by a negative exponential time function with peak value at t = o. Maximum allowable values of the peak pressure are obtained for beams of rectangular and I section. The results of the present analysis are valid for other types of impulsive forces.
