Abstract
Theoretical and numerical methods for deriving pressureimpulse (PI) diagrams for structural elements subjected to transient loads
are described in this paper. Three different search algorithms for deriving PI diagrams numerically were developed by the authors and
are presented. The PI diagrams of a linear elastic system under rectangular and triangular load pulses are derived using both theoretical
and numerical methods and the results are compared. The application of these approaches to the behavior assessment of tested structural
elements is illustrated.

1. Introduction
For structural dynamic analysis, a designer is frequently
concerned with the nal states (e.g. maximum displacement
and stresses) rather than a detailed knowledge of the
response histories of the structure. Baker et al. [1]
quantied the loading regimes for an undamped, perfectly
elastic system subjected to an exponentially decaying load,
where T is the systems natural period and td is the
triangular load pulse duration. One can dene three
general cases for relative relationships between the load
function and the structural response, as illustrated in
Fig. 1. In the impulsive domain, the load is over before the
structure reaches its maximum response. In the quasi-static
domain, the structure reaches its maximum deection well
before the load is over. In the dynamic domain, the
maximum deection is reached near the end of the load
function.
Plots of a maximum peak response versus the ratio of the
load duration or natural period of the system, known as
response spectra, can be used to simplify the design of a
