Dynamic Response of Elastic-Viscoplasic Rectangular Thin Plates under Impulsive Loads

In this paper the transient response of rectangular thin plates subjected to impulsive loads in analyzed by the finite element method in space and difference for time intergration. It takes into account the influences of geometrical nonlinearities due to large, deflection and material nonlinearities due to plasticity, strain-hardening and Strain-rate Sensitivity.
