Gypboard
(OP)
Anyone know where to find design values for gypboard? Not that I want to design with it...
Simply, I've been asked to determine if a mobile machine crashes into a fire rated gypboard wall, will the gypboard be compromised.

Ignore any strength that the board has as it will be negligible compared to the timber frame and design for the timber frame.
The board is fairly brittle and will not contribute much in strength to the frame.

Just a thought... A stick framed wall is made (more) rigid when sheathing is applied; even sheetrock.

Very little puncture/shear resistance from Gypboard.
