The response of partially-confined right-circular cylinders to internal blast loading by Ozinsky, Adam

“…This report presents results of an experimental and numerical investigation into the response of partially-confined, thin-walled, stainless steel cylinders subjected to internal blast loading. "Partial-confinement" refers to an enclosure that may retain a significant, quasi-static pressure following an internal explosion, while "thin-walled" implies that the cylinder wall thickness is small relative to other geometric dimensions. …”

The effect of blast loading on composites that contain sustainable materials by Gabriel, Sherlyn

“…However, there is a constant possibility of explosive threats, and little is known about the blast response of these materials. This study focusses on the effect of blast loading on composites with sustainable constituent materials. …”

The response of aluminium and glass fibre FMLS subjected to blast loading by Volschenk, Gideon

“…This dissertation presents the results of an experimental study into the effects of glass fibre configuration and epoxy type on the response of glass fibre reinforced, epoxy-based FMLs, subjected to localised and uniform blast loading conditions. Standard tensile specimens and Single-Leg Bend (SLB) specimens were manufactured and tested to determine the properties constitutive materials and interfacial bond strength. …”

The response of a structural target to oblique fragment and blast loading by Van Der Merwe, Pierre

“…Two sets of experiments were undertaken in this study, projectile impact experiments and blast experiments. The impact loading of an IED was investigated by performing projectile impact experiments to infer the average impact velocity of the ball bearing during the blast experiments. …”

A Precision Experiment for the Deformation and Fracture of Blast Loaded Plates by Cloete, Trevor John

“…The purpose of this thesis is to present a novel laboratory scale precision test [1] apparatus, developed specifically to study of the deformation and fracture of blast loaded plates. A review of published laboratory scale blast testing showed that classical ballistic pendulum techniques satisfy several precision testing criteria. …”

Study of dynamic behaviour of multi-layered structures subjected to blast loading by Ahmad, Muhammad Saeed

“…The objective of this research work is to assess the response of multi-layered plates in comparison to single plates to gain physical understanding of different phenomena taking place at micro level during localized blast loading. Since layered plates have been shown to give improved ballistic performance under certain circumstances, it is useful to ascertain and understand the influence of layering on blast performance. …”
