THE TRANSVERSE DEFORMATION OF DOUBLE BEAMS

Abstract

The response is analyzed of double beams to impulsive loads when the beams are joined together at either end and the pair is simply supported. The material of the two beams is assumed to exhibit rigid-plastic behavior. It is found that the effect of the end loads induced in the beams by their deformations have a comparatively small effect on the motions and final displacements of the two beams. Graphs are included to enable a particular system to be analyzed with a minimum of effort. (Author)
