“…These investigations have primarily concentrated on enhancing barrier performance through the utilization of various materials. Xu et al [ 10 ] and Tamba et al [ 11 ] have shed light on the effectiveness of gabion walls and supplementary protection walls in withstanding blast loads. Their research revealed that such barriers significantly attenuate the impact of blasts, primarily by reducing the resultant impulse transmitted beyond the wall.…”

“…Moreover, the complexity of the model can affect computational efficiency [24]. Threedimensional models can lead to numerous air elements, thereby increasing solution time and potentially causing computer memory overflow [25]. The above studies have investigated the damage behavior of concrete materials in detail by using numerical simulation methods, and the results obtained are good in terms of reliability, but there are still some limitations in their visualization.…”

Utilizing advanced visualization techniques to simulate and replicate the response of concrete block under various explosive loads is of significant importance for investigating and predicting the fragmentation and fracture behavior of concrete materials. In this study, a scenario visualization method is introduced combining virtual simulation and mathematical theoretical modeling, which can vividly characterize the destruction process as well as the damage characteristics of the concrete block subjected to impact. The fragmentation theory model provided, based on the theorem of energy conservation, could analyze and predict the fundamental characteristics of secondary fragments of concrete blocks under blast loading, such as the quantity, quality and the initial velocity of fragmentation. Furthermore, the movement trajectory and 3D dynamic effects of flying concrete fragments after the explosion were finely and real-time simulated using the physics engine, which significantly enhanced the realism and reliability of the visualization. Also, to characterize the damage features of concrete block, the crushing model of concrete block was established by using Voronoi diagram technique, and the damage levels was given according to the degree of destruction. The developed virtual simulation system not only offers the capability to observe the damage process of concrete block from various perspectives and scales, but also efficiently and accurately analyzes and predicts the destructive behavior and dynamic response under impact loads, and it has significant potential applications in architectural engineering design and safety assessment, providing a new perspective for understanding and exploring the mechanisms of destruction and fracture in concrete materials.

“…There is a general perception among the common people about the explosive nature of TNT and through the print as well as electronic media we are more familiar with the term TNT [ [39] , [40] , [41] , [42] , [43] ], but 2,4,6 trinitrophenol by no means exhibits lesser potential as an explosive compared to TNT [ 44 , 45 ]. Therefore, designing a suitable chemosensor that can effectively detect TNP has extreme importance in the field of forensic science.…”
