Villavicencio, R. and Guedes Soares, C. (2009), “Response of clamped beams to impact loading along their length”, Proceedings of the 13th Congress of International Maritime Association of the Mediterranean (IMAM´09), 12-15 October, Istanbul, Turkey
Results of tests on clamped beams struck by a mass at different positions along their length are reported in this paper. The impact point varies from the mid-span of the beam to the vicinity of a support. The permanent transverse deformations and the absorbed energies of the beams, which were recorded in the experimental tests, are compared with the theoretical rigid plastic predictions and numerical analysis. Good agreement is found between the experimental results and theoretical and numerical calculation. It is shown that the failure modes depend on the location of the impact point.
