Abstract

The longitudinal strain histories produced by impact in a long circular cylindrical tube are determined using membrane shell theory. Solutions are generated by a method which reformulates the boundary value problem in terms of Volterra integral equations which are then numerically resolved. The predicted histories are compared with strain histories measured in a corresponding experiment, and the correlation is found to be better than that based on histories predicted from elementary rod theory corrected to account for lateral inertia.
