Abstract:
Solution to the impulsive motion of a clamped circular plate due to concentrated axisymmetric impact has been obtained. Experiments were conducted on a clamped circular-plate model under half-sine-pulse loads with several pulse durations. Experimental results are compared with the numerical results.
