Performance of bio-inspired cross-laminated timber under blast loading – A numerical study

Transient response and failure of medium density fibreboard panels subjected to air-blast loading

“…Despite its ubiquity, little is known about its blast performance as most studies (for example, see references [7,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17]) examine quasi-static properties such as modulus of rupture, water absorption, and internal bond strength, and some limited impact testing [7]. Blast studies on wood-based materials are limited to timber structures and natural woods such as oak, birch, pine and aspen [18][19][20], field tests on full-scale steel framed E-glass coated wooden wall panels [21], and a numerical study on cross-laminated timber [22].…”
