Steel hollow sections are used extensively in the construction, offshore, mining and security
industries. In many applications these sections are concrete filled in order to gain strength …

An approximate quasi-static theoretical analysis is presented for the behavior of punch-
impact-loaded metal plates. Based on the principle of virtual work, load-deflection …

This paper presents an analytical model for studying the material failure in shear hinges
formed during the dynamic plastic response of a circular plate under projectile impact …

This paper presents the results of research on ballistic panels made of polymer–matrix
composites (PMCs). The analysis covers two types of composites produced by the authors …

In this paper, experimental responses of the clamped mild steel, copper, and aluminum
circular plates subjected to blast loading are investigated. Extensive experimental results …

In this paper, plastic deformation of the clamped mild steel and aluminum circular plates
subjected to different hydrodynamic impact loading conditions are investigated. Extensive …

A simple theoretical method, which is based on ductile damage mechanics and which
retains strain rate effects, is presented for predicting the failure of beams made from a …

An analytical model is proposed for studying the material failure in shear hinges which
develop during the dynamic plastic response of beams under impulsive pressure loadings …

The plastic response of clamped mild steel, copper, and aluminum circular plates, subjected
to blast loads is investigated by experimental and analytical methods. Extensive …

This paper presents an analytical method for determining deflection of fully clamped thin
circular plates. The plates are made from a rigid perfectly plastic material and subjected to a …
