Abstract

The transient dynamic response of a panel structure subjected to blast loading was investigated, as simulated by the step function and the exponentially decaying function. Based on the Bauer methodology, and applying Galerkin's method, the von Karman nonlinear equations of plates could be transformed into Duffing-type nonlinear ordinary differential equations and then solved by adopting the Lindstedt-Poincare perturbation method. The complete analysis of square plates was carried out for all-clamped and all-simply supported edge conditions. The results of deflection history and stress resultants using one perturbation term were sufficiently correlated with results both from related literature and obtained by the finite-element method.
