Estimates for shell deflections of reentry bodies subjected to lateral impulse loads

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4329980
Formulas for the deflection of elastic rings and finite cylindrical shells with simply supported and clamped boundary conditions are derived for a cosine-distributed impulse over half their circumference. These formulas provide a criterion for the gap selection in magnetically driven flyer plate tests. (auth)
