PROOF COPY 005501AMJ Coupled Plastic Wave Propagation and Column Buckling The plastic buckling of columns is explored in a regime where plastic wave propagation and lateral buckling are nonlinearly coupled. Underlying the work is the motivation to Denzil G. Vaughn understand and quantify the dynamic crushing resistance of truss cores of all-metal sand- wich plates where each truss member is a clamped column. Members are typically fairly James M. Canning stocky such that they buckle plastically and their load carrying capacity decreases gradu- ally as they buckle, even at slow loading rates. In the range of elevated loading rates of John W. Hutchinson interest here, the columns are significantly stabilized by lateral inertia, resisting lateral motion and delaying buckling and loss of load carrying capacity to relatively large over- all plastic strains. The time scale associated with dynamic axial behavior, wherein defor- Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard University, mation spreads along the column as a plastic wave, is comparable to the time scale P associated with lateral buckling such that the two phenomena are coupled.
