Abstract
In an attempt to assess more completely rate-sensitive material effects, two fundamental structural elements are analyzed: A wire with an impulsively loaded end mass, and an impulsively loaded ring. The ring and wire are made of perfectly plastic, rate-sensitive materials. In each case, exact and approximate solutions are obtained for an exponential rate-sensitivity law. The results suggest that very good approximations to the exact solutions may be found by utilizing a rate-insensitive material with constant yield stress equal to the initial dynamic yield stress.
