Blast-induced traumatic brain injury (TBI) has become a signature wound of recent military
activities and is the leading cause of death and long-term disability among US soldiers. The …

A combined experimental and numerical investigation is carried out to study systematically
the ballistic performance of a metallic plate that deforms continuously under pre-imparted …

A novel composite projectile is put forward to simulate combined blast and single fragment
impact loading, which is comprised of a cylindrical aluminum foam projectile embedded with …

Concrete is relatively weak in tension and may require some form of reinforcement to cope
with tensile forces. Steel reinforcing bar is often used to cater for tensile and compressive …

Concrete is a widely used material within the civil engineering environment, having many
varied applications that utilise its inherent qualities. When concrete is subject to rapid or …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) in all of its forms—blast, concussive, and penetrating—has been
an unfortunate sequela of warfare since ancient times. The continued evolution of military …

The paper considers the failure study of concrete structures loaded by the pressure wave
due to detonation of an explosive material. In the paper two numerical methods are used …

In this paper, we develop numerical methods for modeling blast and fragments generated
from explosive detonation and apply them to scenarios representing improvised explosive …

In the aftermath of the London '7/7'attacks in 2005, UK government agencies required the
development of a quick-running tool to predict the weapon and injury effects caused by the …

The aim of this study was to elaborate identification method of crew overload as a result of
trinitrotoluene charge explosion under the military wheeled vehicle. During the study, an …
