... and thermal softening can be included. Many studies have shown that the Johnson and Cook (1985) model provides accurate predictions for the steel structure behaviour under impact and blast loading (Chung and Nurick, 2005 ; Dey et al., 2007). The general equation for the Johnson and Cook (1985...

The methods used for thermal control have also expanded to different fields such as conventional steel frames and bridge girders to avoid undesirable movements.
