Blast wall strength estimated using finite displacement theory

A simple yield line theory can be applied to the post-buckled deformation mode of the plate to provide a lower bound solution to the collapse of panels that take into account large deflections. In the illustration given, no in-plane edge restraint of the plate is assumed and the plate resistance com...
