Jd. Riera et I. Iturrioz, DISCRETE ELEMENT DYNAMIC-RESPONSE OF ELASTOPLASTIC SHELLS SUBJECTED TO IMPULSIVE LOADING, Communications in numerical methods in engineering, 11(5), 1995, pp. 417-426
The determination of the dynamic response of plate and shell structure
s is carried out employing a discrete representation of the continuum,
associated with an explicit integration scheme in the time domain. Co
mparisons With experimental results certify the accuracy and reliabili
ty of the proposed method.
