“…As a research tool this study uses the method of numerical simulation based on 2-step method of second order accuracy in the Euler space variables [2,[9][10][11][12][13]. When calculating penetration segmented drummer applied the algorithm combining the contacting segments after actuation of interacting with the barrier segment to the size of a few computational cells [14][15][16][17][18][19]. The introduction of such algorithm is equivalent to the procedure of changing boundary conditions on the contact surface with a perfect slip condition at the rigid couplings [20][21].…”

Abstract. In this paper we consider issues related to numerical modelling of processes of high-speed impact effect of a consistent series of damaging elements on the massive barrier. Research is carried out by comparing the finite speed of penetration of this series at a speed of penetration of the elongated one-piece (rod) of the missile of the same mass and diameter. Examines the range of initial impact speeds from 1 to 12 km/s taking into account such physical phenomena as fracture, melting and evaporation of the interacting bodies. The analysis showed that almost in all range of impact speeds segmented drummer is better solid elongated.

Contemporary world is facing numerous bomb explosion attacks on public and civil buildings causing huge loss of property and human lives. As a consequence, the society needs more safety and protection for the existing structures against blast loads. Among the various strategies, one effective way to enhance the blast resistance of reinforced concrete and masonry structures is through retrofitting using various types and forms of fibrous and composite materials. This work presents an up to date review of available literature and publications on the fibrous and composite materials utilized for blast protection of structural elements and highlights the lacking areas where further research is required.

“…Lin et al [2] investigated the effects of charge weight, standoff distance, panel thickness, and reinforcement ratio on the blast resistance of RC wall panels by using LS-DYNA. Garfield et al [3] conducted experiments for wall panels constructed by normal concrete and fiber reinforced concrete with a wide range of construction details under blast loading. Pan and Watson [4] reported the interaction between RC cladding panels and fixings under blast loading by using DYNA3D.…”
