Experimental investigations on the laser-welded triangular corrugated core sandwich panels
and equivalent solid plates subjected to air blast loading are presented. The experiments …

A large scale experimental approach to the direct measurement of the spatial and temporal
variation in loading resulting from an explosive event has been developed. The approach …

This paper presents the results of an experimental and numerical investigation into the
response of circular Domex-700 MC steel plates to repeated uniform blast loads. The …

Modern high-strength and armour grade steels have developed continually increasing
strength and fracture toughness, but there have been limited experimental investigations …

This paper presents the results of experiments and numerical simulations carried out to
characterise and assess the effects of orientation of blast loading onto a quadrangular plate …

Mines, specifically as Anti-Tank (AT) mines are a significant threat for defence vehicles.
While approaches such as v-shaped hulls are currently used to deflect the blast products …

This paper presents the results of a combined experimental and numerical investigation into
the blast loading generated by an explosive charge buried in an unsaturated soil. The …

The influence of the soil properties on the structural integrity of impacted structures is
important in light of the increased use of improvised explosive devices (IED's) and buried …

While it is well known that detonation of shallow-buried high explosive charges generally
results in above-surface loading which is greatly amplified compared with the same …

When subjected to localized blast loading from shallow-buried explosives (eg, mines buried
under sand), how would a sandwich structure dynamically perform has been extensively …
