PLASTIC DEFORMATION OF STRUCTURES. I. PLASTIC DEFORMATION OF BEAMS,

Abstract

An experimental technique of explosively deforming basic structural elements by a precise impulse imparted to the structure. The basic structure in this case is a beam and the impulse is predetermined by the explosive weight. The experiment is monitored by both streak and framing cameras and strain guages. The data when reduced provides deflection modes and deflection time history of the experimental specimen. (Author)
