Notwithstanding the presence of some books summarizing specific research bodies on
structural systems, reviews on nonlinear dynamics and chaos in mechanical systems and …

This paper reviews various aspects of modeling an explosion on an aircraft, which can be
extended to more general structures. A brief summary of material and structural models is …

The research on blasting damage of medium has important engineering significance,
wherein one of the main factors affecting the blasting effect of the medium is the free …

Experimental and numerical investigations on the response of thin aluminum plates to
airblast loading for varying structural and loading parameters are presented. The loading …

A short review of investigations on the counterintuitive behavior of impulsively loaded
structural elements is given. Counterintuitive behavior (CIB) is an appearance of final …

The anomalous experimental results on fully clamped beams subjected to projectile impact
at the mid-span are presented in this paper. These results show that the permanent midpoint …

A numerical study is presented here which suggests that chaotic motion is possible from
periodic excitation of an elastic-plastic beam. Poincare´ maps of the motion reveal a fractal …

We describe tests made in an attempt to observe anomalous behavior that had been
predicted in computations for the elastic-plastic response of fixed pin ended beams to short …

The paper discusses chaotic response behavior of a beam model whose ends are fixed, so
that shallow arch action prevails after moderate plastic straining has occurred due to a short …

It is shown that a circular plate with fully fixed boundary may exhibit anomalous nonlinear
elastic, perfectly plastic response behaviours of the same type that have been shown to …
