Response of Missile Structures to Impulse Loading

Abstract

Procedures for analytically predicting the response of missile bodies to blast loadings are presented. The investigation involves the behavior of cylindrical shells (with various end-closures) and circular, flat plates. The numerical results obtained from the analytical methods compare favorably with the experimental data acquired during the study.
