The reaction of two elastic cantilever-beam-bar systems with different geometrical parameters to static and shock-wave loads is studied experimentally. Methods of determining the amplification factor for these systems are discussed [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The behavior of a thin elastic plate with an edge notch under the action of a weak shock wave in air is studied experimentally. The effect of a patch placed either at the bottom or at the top of the notch on the deformation process is analyzed [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The deformation of an elastic cantilever-rod system when a shock wave or quasi-static load acts on the cantilever is studied experimentally. The quasistatic and nonstationary strains were measured using a PC with an LMS SCADAS Mobile high-precision eight-channel front-end (Belgium). It is revealed that the theoretical analysis of such problems requires a nonlinear problem statement [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The experimental results on the deformation of an elastic system consisting of a cantilever plate and its support rod and subjected to a plane acoustic shock wave are discussed. Nonstationary strains were measured using a PC with an L1250 four-channel analog-to-digital converter I/O card or an LMS SCADAS Mobile high-precision eight-channel front-end (Belgium) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The natural frequencies of a complex-shaped thin elastic shell under loading of two types that cause nonstationary vibrations are experimentally determined. The strains in the shell are recorded with piezoelectric strain gages, followed by the Fourier analysis of the oscillograms [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The dynamics of a thin elastic plate with an edge notch under the action of a weak shock wave in air is experimentally studied. It is shown that the notch has a significant effect on the deformation process [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
