A Simple Dynamic Model for Beams Subjected to Blast Loads

Article Preview

Abstract:

A three Degree-of-Freedom (DoF) mass-spring model is proposed to predict the dynamic response of clamped supported beams subjected to blast loads at the mid-span of the beam. The stiffness of inelastic spring is defined from the relationship between force and mid-span displacement of beams subjected to blast loads. The lumped mass is calculated from the equivalency between the model and beam based on the fundamental frequency. Clamped supported solid beams and T-beams are taken as typical examples to verify the proposed model. And the influence of geometric parameters on deformation behavior is discussed in details.
