Summary

Non-symmetric response of elastic shells to localised impact loads is studied. Closed-form solutions for the response to four particular kinds of pulse shapes are given. Experimentally measured values of the strain response of a cylinder to impact loads are obtained which compare satisfactorily with theoretical predicted values.
