Dynamic response of thin, rigid-plastic shells subjected to transverse loads.

The exact response of thin shells loaded dynamically is extremely complicated and often cannot be expressed in closed analytical form. Approximate energy dissipation solution techniques are developed herein for rigid-perfectly plastic thin shells of arbitrary shape subjected to short duration d...
