Abstract
The dynamic plastic behavior of viscoplastic circular plates subjected to impulse loading is presented. The impulse is assumed to impart a transverse axisymmetric velocity with a spatial Gaussian distribution. The combined influence of membrane forces, bending moments and strain-rate sensitivity is considered in predicting the deformation. Numerical results are presented to show this influence on the rate of growth of plastic regimes, the deflection configuration and the total time of response. It is concluded that the spatial distribution of impulse has a considerable effect on the deformation response of the plate, and relatively small effect on the total time of response; furthermore, the simple bending theory is inadequate to reliably predict the response.
