The upper bound kinematic method, which is based on a reduced kinematic formulation and involves construction of fictitious elastic moment fields and potential incremental collapse mechanisms, is used to evaluate the dynamic cycle collapse loads for a symmetrically loaded circular plate. The respective nonshakedown curves are constructed, A point load effect is discussed.
