Over the past several decades, a noticeable amount of research efforts has been directed to
minimising injuries and death to people inside a structure that is subjected to an impact …

In this study, a review of previous research that investigates the influence of strain rate on
the dynamic and quasi-static behaviour of concrete and steel material behaviour is …

Understanding the strain rate effects on cement-based materials are important for accurately
modeling concrete structure damage to high-velocity impact and blast loads. This paper …

This paper presents the strain rate behaviour in tension of the S355 structural steel using a
modified Split Hopkinson Tensile Bar for the mechanical characterisation at high strain rates …

Investigating the responses of simplified hull girder (SHG) structures subjected to
underwater explosions can yield valuable research insights for real ships. However …

Austenitic stainless steel, the most commonly used stainless steel, provides a good
combination of corrosion resistance, weldability, forming and fabrication properties, and has …

Fiber reinforced inorganic materials, such as concrete or mortars are expected to present
good mechanical properties under high dynamic loading conditions, such as those induced …

In structural analysis and design, it is essential to define the material properties associated
with the targeted structural systems. When harsh environmental or operational conditions …

In this paper, the dynamic behaviour of cement mortars reinforced with both glass and basalt
fibres is studied. The influence of the addition of both types of fibre on energy absorption and …

This paper made efforts on investigating low-temperature mechanical properties of new
constructional stainless steel (SS) QN1906Mo. Forty-two tensile coupons were firstly …
