Blast Loading and Blast Effects on Structures – An Overview

The use of vehicle bombs to attack city centers has been a feature of campaigns by terrorist organizations around the world. A bomb explosion within or immediately nearby a building can cause catastrophic damage on the building's external and internal structural frames, collapsing of walls, blowing out of large expanses of windows, and shutting down of critical life-safety systems. Loss of life...

Alternative Methods of Data Capture for Glass Subjected to Long-duration Blast Loading

The air blast tunnel (ABT) at MoD Shoeburyness is a unique testing facility capable of simulating pressure regimes recorded in long-duration blast events. Long-duration blasts are typically defined by a positive phase duration greater than 100ms, observed in the far field of large explosions. Due to its highly brittle nature, glass panels require high-speed data capture to provide reliable engi...

Numerical Simulation of an Armored Vehicle Underbelly Subjected to Air Blast Loading

In modern warfare, anti-vehicular mine attack is one of the critical consideration in the design of an armored personnel vehicle. Nowadays, the use of computational tools is a common approach in vehicle design process for evaluating the vehicle and its occupant’s safety or protective levels. This paper presents a finite element analysis carried out on the underbelly of SIBMAS AFSV 6x6 armored v...
