Viscoelastoplastic Deformation of Reinforced Shells of Revolution Under Nonstationary Loading

The elastoviscoplastic behavior of a discretely reinforced shell under axisymmetric nonstationary loading is considered within the framework of the geometrically and physically nonlinear Timoshenko-type theory of shells. The stress–strain state of the structure is studied in terms of the incremental plasticity with kinematic hardening and dynamic yielding condition, which allows for the dynamic viscosity of the structure. The nonstationary behavior of a rigidly fastened reinforced shell under axisymmetric pulse loading normal to the shell surface is considered as an example. The deflection–time and deflection–space relationships are found
