Abstract:The equations for the dynamic buckling of an axially impacted column are discussed. A method is presented for the calculation of approximate load and deflection variations in problems of high-velocity impact. The method may be extended for cases wherein the stresses exceed the elastic limit. Results of calculations are presented for two cases. In one of these, agreement with a previous exact solution is found to be good.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
