THE EFFECT OF RISE TIME ON CRITICAL DYNAMIC LOAD FOR A SHALLOW ARCH

Abstract

The critical ramp loads required to produce snapping of a shallow sinusoidal arch are investigated. Calculated results are presented for two specific arch geometries. These results illustrate the influence of the load rise time on the level of the critical load.
