Nonlinear rigid-plastic analysis of stiffened plates under blast loads

The large ductile deformation response of stiffened plates subjected to blast loads is investigated and simplified methods of analysis of such response are developed. Simplification is derived from modelling stiffened plates as singly symmetric beams or as grillages thereof. These beams are further...
