Method of investigating the nonaxisymmetric dynamic form changing of collapsible shells. Report 2. Calculations and experiment

The theory and numerical method of calculating the significant nonstationary form change of nonaxisymmetric elastoplastic shells with allowance for material failure are confirmed. The confirmation is based on numerical experimentation, and comparison of numerical results with test calculations and experimental data. Satisfactory accuracy is noted for this numerical method and the computational results obtained. Some characteristic features of the dynamic failure of the shells are disclosed.
