Numerical Simulation of the Air Blast Response of Tapered Cantilever Beams

Abstract

A numerical procedure is developed to predict the elastic response of variable cross-section cantilever beams when subjected to a transient air blast load. Computed natural frequencies and transient strains were in reasonable agreement with experimentally obtained values.
