Jones, N. and Guedes Soares, C. (1978), “Higher Modal Dynamic Plastic Behaviour of Beams Loaded Impulsively”, International Journal of Mechanical Science, Vol. 20, pp. 135 - 147

It was demonstrated in a previous study that the higher modal dynamic plastic response of beams may be a more efficient means of absorbing a given initial kinetic energy than a single modal response. Thus, the higher modal dynamic plastic response of impulsively loaded, fully clamped beams is examined herein, using various rigid perfectly plastic theoretical procedures and a numerical elastic-plastic computer code.
