The presented state-of-the-art explores the domain of reinforced concrete structures
subjected to cased explosive charges. Upon detonation, cased explosive charges result in …

Lattice structures have shown potential for efficient protection against dynamic loading
events, especially during high-strain rate scenarios such as a blast. Additive manufacturing …

This paper presents an experimental investigation into the failure mechanisms of sandwich
panels with multi-layered aluminum foam/UHMWPE laminate cores under combined blast …

Fuel tanks, as core fuel components of many types of mechanical equipment, are highly
vulnerable to strong dynamic loads, such as those from explosions and fragments. In this …

Foam filling strategy has been demonstrated to owing the ability to improve the blast
resistance of sandwich panels under bare blast loading. But it is unclear that the effect of …

This paper presents experimental and numerical results for fully-clamped square steel
plates to elucidate how the deformation and failure are affected by the presence of pre …

This paper aims at investigation of failure characteristic of RC slabs under combined blast
and fragment loading. With experimental device designed, blast tests were conducted to …

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 …

As an excellent anti-blast material, polyurea (PU) has been widely used in the reinforcement
of masonry walls, RC structures, steel structures, and composite materials. The advances in …

A blastworthy structure is defined as a structure that has the ability to deform with a
controlled force and preserve sufficient residual space around the occupants to limit bodily …
