Flexible materials and structures, mainly including nonmetallic and nonceramic materials,
are being increasingly applied in the field of blast mitigation to prevent collateral damage by …

It is known from real blast-load events that the combined effect of fragment impact and blast
loading is more severe than the effect of the blast loading alone. The present study …

An increase in material strength is commonly associated with better protection in blast-
resistant design. However, higher material strength comes at the cost of reduced ductility …

The performance of sandwich structures against individual shock loading and fragment
impact loading has been extensively examined, but little is known about their performance in …

This work is a part of a larger research effort to better understand the combined effect of the
blast wave and fragment impacts following the detonation of a shrapnel bomb. It is known …

Compared with traditional axisymmetric charge structure, a novel quadrangular charge
structure with preformed fragments on concave surfaces was studied. A static explosion …

This paper presents new insights into the influence of explosive charge backing on the
impulse transfer and transient response characteristics of plates subjected to close-proximity …

This paper presents insights into the influence of ball size on the flight characteristics and
damage of a ball bearing embedded in a rear detonated cylindrical charge. It includes …

The shape and strength of prefabricated fragments changes to some extent after detonation
loading. In this paper, detonation loading process of prefabricated fragments under two …

Under detonation loading, the prefabricated fragments in the warhead will be greatly
deformed and even broken. In order to explore the model of deformation, the dynamic …
