Shock Analysis of Viscoplastic Beams.

Abstract

There are three reports under one cover. First is a theoretical study of the viscoplastic response at a beam cross-section based on a strain-rate sensitive constitutive equation with strain hardening. Time delay between peak moment and peak curvature is determined. The second deals with the effect of using various relationships between static moment and curvature. The third presents some preliminary results of a numerical solution for the base motion response of a viscoplastic beam with immovable hinged ends, considering combined tension and bending.
