Impulse

Impulse software provides comprehensive treatment for dynamic responses of concrete plates.

Impulse software is based on classical principles and uses the latest FEM-based methods to calculate the dynamic response of the plate.

 

The software generates clear and sophisticated diagrams taking into account numerous factors including:

• geometrical characteristics of the plate

• chronological depiction of blast loading: primary and secondary fragments

• various support conditions: free, join- and fixed-supported

• Ground depth over the plate

• Reinforcement patterns

• Various concrete & steel characteristics

• Dampening characteristics

• Nonlinearity in concrete-behavior: elastic, elastic-plastic and plastic

 

The software graphically displays colorful diagrams including:

• Relationship of motion and time at the maximum deflection point

• Maps of ductility and combined bending moments

• Map of total and residual deflections of the plate

• Cross sections of moments positioned at the maximum deflection point

• Cross sections of deflected slab positioned at the maximum deflection point

• Slope of the plate and rotation angle

• Combined reactions and shear forces on the supports
