A Numerical Procedure for the Dynamic Plastic Response of Beams with Rotatory Inertia and Transverse Shear Effects.

Abstract

A numerical procedure is used to examine the influence of transverse shear forces in the yield criterion and rotatory inertia on the dynamic plastic response of beams. Various results are presented for a long beam impacted by a mass and a simply supported beam loaded impulsively, both of which are made from a rigid perfectly plastic material with yielding controlled by the Ilyushin-Shapiro yield criterion. Transverse shear effects lead to a dramatic reduction in the slopes of the deformed profiles for both beam problems. Moreover, the slope of the deformed profile underneath the striker in the impact problem is quite sensitive to the actual shape of the yield curve, while the maximum transverse displacement is less sensitive. The retention of rotatory inertia in the basic equations leads to further reductions up to 17 and 10 per cent in the slopes and maximum transverse displacements, respectively. (Author)
