Abstract

In the current research, the plastic behavior of circular plates under dynamic loading was investigated. In the experimental section, a ballistic pendulum apparatus and aluminum alloy plates were used. To investigate the deformation profile and the failure pattern of the specimens, dynamic loads were applied in a wide range from 6.49 to 24.69 Ns. To test the behavior under successive loading, each experiment was continued up to 5 loadings. Experimental observations indicate a large plastic deformation of the structure along with the thinning of the test specimens at fully clamped boundaries and the rupture of some in the same area. The results showed that with increasing the number of explosions and the charge mass, the maximum deflection increases, but the progressive deflection decreases exponentially. In the modeling section, some closed-form relations were proposed using the dimensional analysis approach to predict the maximum permanent deflection plates. In these relations, the effect of various parameters such as the plate geometry, inertia of the applied load, and strain rate sensitivity of material was considered. Comparing the results of the model with the experimental results showed that there is a very good agreement between the experimental results and the predictions of the model.
