Response of thin circular plates to central blast loading

Includes bibliographical references. === The large ductile deformation response and rupture of thin circular metal plates subjected to central blast loading is investigated using the ABAQUS general purpose finite element code. The finite element code incorporates non-linear geometry and material eff...
