Proper design of protecting filters mitigates the effect of blast and shock waves and thereby
makes such filters effective protection against both accidental and planned explosions. The …

An experimental investigation of the elastic–plastic nature of shock wave propagation in
foams was undertaken. The study involved experimental blast wave and shock tube loading …

The evolution of the stress distribution inside storage silos is an inherent effect in the
dynamic operations of handling granular materials. Opening a discharge gate may result in …

The interaction of moving shock waves with short length elastic porous aluminum samples of
various porosities was investigated in a shock tube facility in a setup where the specimens …

This paper investigates the evolution of a Richtmyer–Meshkov (RM)-like instability on the
internal surface of particle rings impinged by divergent blast waves. Despite the signature …

The purpose of the present study is to clarify both the compression phenomenon and the
gas filtration effect that take place inside a granular medium when it is dynamically loaded …

The transmission of pressure waves in granular materials is complicated by the
heterogeneity and nonlinearity inherent in these systems. Such waves are propagated …

In this paper, a new vertical shock tube test facility is described that has been designed and
established for a research program aimed at studying the response of the geological media …

Solutions to the problems of the action of plane shock waves on a deformable granular layer
are obtained. The transformation of waves when passing through an elastoplastic granular …

This paper deals with the unsteady gas filtration through a granular layer attached to a rigid
end-wall when impacted head-on by a weak shock wave in a shock tube. The main goal of …
