Blast loaded plates

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of the Dynamic Behavior of Clamped Thin Panel Subjected to Underwater Impulsive Loading

“…The typical discing and petalling failure modes in clamped plates under impulsive loading were analyzed by Wierzbicki (2005a and2005b), and the tensile tearing modes were reminiscent mode II of failure modes for beams under impulsive loading. For understanding and improving the blast resistance of rectangular steel plates, Rajendran and Lee (2009) investigated the blast response of the plates to gain greater insight into the damage phenomenon of plates subjected to blast loading. The research of Zamani (2011) indicated that the plastic response of thin metallic plates under explosion loading was very important for designing energy absorbing and collision protection devices.…”

Response of Armour Steel Plates to localised Air Blast Load – A Dimensional Analysis

“…While the dynamic plastic deformation of the plate has a strong dependence upon the pulse shape, Youngdahl [29] showed that these effects can be eliminated through introduction of effective pressure and impulse parameters. The pulse shape assumed in this work is a modified, non-dimensional form of Friedlander equation [30] given by Eq. (3).…”

Blast Valve Design and Related Studies : A Review

“…Due to very high velocity and very high temperature, the boundary layer effects are confined in a very narrow region and the flow of gaseous products is assumed to be inviscid. Thus the viscous forces are not considered for the explosive modelling 27 . The explosion in air at a considerable height from ground is known as free-field air blast with spherical waves.…”
