As a common structure in engineering, reinforced concrete (RC) arch may be subjected to
explosion load in its life cycle. However, there are few studies on the blast resistance of RC …

Partially or fully buried explosive on detonation releases a large amount of kinetic energy a
part of which gets dissipated during creation of crater and the rest gets converted into …

High explosives are hazardous materials that are frequently used in industrial production
which involves many safety and risk problems. To investigate the influence of the explosive …

Introduction Blast overpressure exposure, an important cause of traumatic brain injury (TBI),
may occur during combat or military training. TBI, most commonly mild TBI, is considered a …

This paper investigates the influence of the cylindrical charge characteristics, ie, the length-
to-diameter ratio, orientation, and initiation configuration, on the blast loads (peak …

In current guidelines, the free air blast loads (overpressure and impulse) are determined by
spherical charges, although most of ordnance devices are more nearly cylindrical than …

The differences in the responses of square steel plates subjected to blast loads of cubic and
spherical charge explosions were investigated in the study. A finite element model (FEM) …

Cylindrical charges are frequently used in blasting engineering and military operations,
often detonated very close to target structures. Obtaining the characteristics of the flow field …

Cuboid explosives are usually offered in the military and civilian market. Whilst, the plates
are widely used in engineering structures. Plates subjected to blast loads generated by …

Steel tanks are used in industries for several purposes, such as the storage of chemicals,
water, oil, petroleum products, etc. These steel tanks are frequently exposed to internal …
