INVESTIGATION OF RESPONSE OF SIMPLIFIED ICBM-TYPE STRUCTURES TO IMPULSIVE LOADING (2005)
Abrahamson, G. R., Florence, A. L., Lindberg, H. E.
Theoretical and experimental structural response investigations of space-vehicle-type structures under suddenly external surface loads are described. The simulation of a simultaneous impulsive load...
CRITICAL LOAD CURVES FOR REBOUND CRACKING (2005)
Samuelsen, G. S., Stuiver, W., Abrahamson, G. R.
It is shown that, under an external load, a cylindrical plastic shell mounted on a steel mandrel can rebound at a velocity sufficient to cause cracking of the shield due to hoop tension. Using...
Abrahamson, G. R., Florence, A. L., Lindberg, H. E.
Two types of response are treated, dynamic plastic bending of beams and circular plates under transient lateral loads, and dynamic pulse buckling of bars and cylinders under transient axial thrust or...
Abrahamson, G. R., Florence, A. L., Goodier, J. N., Lindberg, H. E., Vaughan, H.
Structural response of reentry-vehicle-type structures to suddenly applied surface loads, body loads, and combined surface and body loads is investigated. Volume I contains a review of simulation...
Simulation of Plane Underwater Shock Waves Using an Array of Point Volume Sources. (2002)
Romander,C. M., Abrahamson,G. R.
Experiments were conducted to test the concept of using point volume sources in a plane array to produce a plane shock wave in water that would simulate the shock wave from a nuclear explosion. The...
A Theory for Critical Loads to Damage a Cylindrical Shell by a Large Underwater Explosion. (2002)
Florence,A. L., Abrahamson,G. R.
A theory is presented for determining critical loads for cylindrical shells subjected to large underwater explosions. The theory treats dynamic elastic-plastic buckling with fluid-structure...
