Abstract
An experimental investigation was conducted to determine
the static and dynamic responses of a specific stiffened
flat plate design. The air-backed rectangular flat plates
of 6061-T6 aluminum with an externally machined longitudinal
narrow- flanged T- stiffener and clamped boundary conditions
were subjected to static loading by water hydropump pressure
and shock loading from an eight pound TNT charge detonated
underwater. The dynamic test plate was instrumented to
measure transient strains and free- field pressure. The
static test plate was instrumented to measure transient
strains, plate deflection, and pressure. Emphasis was
placed upon forcing static and dynamic stiff ener tripping,
obtaining relevant strain and pressure data, and studying
the associated plate-stiffener behavior.
