Abstract

A problem of viscoplastic dynamic bending of isotropic plates of variable thickness is formulated. A method for integrating the initial-boundary problem is developed. Numerical results are compared with a known analytical solution obtained within a rigid-plastic model; good agreement is demonstrated. The efficiency of the method developed is verified by numerical computations. It is shown that the final flexure of plates can be reduced severalfold by applying rational design.
