Full-field strain and strain-rate fields of rock materials under dynamic compression were
studied by the high-speed three-dimensional digital image correlation (3D-DIC) method. A …

UHMWPE fiber mesh reinforced polyurea (UFRP) composites are a proposed improvement
method that involves incorporating UHMWPE fiber mesh into polyurea coating. Experiments …

This work presents results from a numerical investigation on the influence of fluid-structure
interaction (FSI) on the dynamic response of thin steel plates subjected to blast loading. The …

The inelastic response of thin aluminium and steel plates subjected to airblast loading is
studied numerically and validated against experimental data. Special focus is placed on the …

This study evaluates the performance of a new shock tube facility used to produce blast
loading in controlled laboratory environments. The facility was found to generate a planar …

The effect of polyurea coating on the structural response of metallic plates is still a challenge
for the industry and scientific community. In this paper, experimental and numerical …

A series of twenty experimental tests were first carried out to assess the large transverse
deformation of double-layered rectangular plates subjected to gas mixture detonation load …

The shock wave generated from a high explosive detonation can cause significant damage
to any objects that it encounters, particularly those objects located close to the source of the …

This paper presents a comparative study of numerical, experimental and empirical
techniques on the effect of localised air blast loads on mild steel and armour steel plates …

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 …
