Sommario

Si sviluppa uno studio teorico del comportamento di strutture rigido-plastiche sottoposte a vari tipi di carichi dinamici; sia la deformazione che il carico si suppongono dipendenti da un singolo parametro, funzione del tempo. Si approfondisce lo studio dei carichi impulsivi e periodici, per cui si forniscono risultati più dettagliati (p. es. riguardo alla più pericolosa forma dell'impulso, ed allastabilizzazione delle oscillazioni sotto carichi periodici), validi per qualsiasi struttura che rispetti le ipotesi. Si introduce quindi la possibilità di variazione (in aumento o in diminuzione) della resistenza con la deformazione, e si studia in particolare la possibilità di completocollasso. Infine, nel paragrafo conclusivo si riassumono e discutono i risultati ottenuti, e si indicano alcuni possibili sviluppi di questa ricerca.

Summary

The one-degree-of-freedom response of rigid-plastic structures is investigated for a variety of single-parameter dynamic loading-functions. Specific results, valid for any structure under the set assumptions, are obtained for single-pulse and periodic loading. The possibility of linear strain-hardening or reduction of strength with deformation is introduced. In the concluding section, the results are reviewed, and possible future researches are indicated.
