Study on the mechanical response of glass facades under air blast loading Universiteit Gent
Many buildings housing strategic companies or federal services employ a large glass curtain wall so as to have (literally and figuratively) a U+2018transparentU+2019 image towards the public. However, in case of a blast event, resulting glass shards impose major threats. With our research, we hope to mitigate these threats by increasing knowledge about the post-failure behaviour of laminated glass. Therefore, blast experiments and advanced ...
Experimental analysis of the post-fracture response of laminated glass under impact and blast loading Universiteit Gent
Experimental study of the bond interaction between CFRP and concrete under blast loading Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Gent
Specific to blast loading, bond shear tests between carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips and concrete have not yet been reported in literature, to the best knowledge of the authors. Given the high potential of strengthening concrete with CFRP to increase blast resistance, it is necessary to better understand the dynamic interaction between concrete and CFRP under blast impulse. This article presents a new experimental setup developed in ...
NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF ALUMINIUM PLATES SUBJECTED TO BLAST LOADING USING ARBITRARY LAGRANGIAN EULERIAN AND LAGRANGIAN APPROACHES Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This paper deals with the non-linear dynamic behavior of thin Aluminium
plates subjected to blast loading. Aluminium plates with grade EN AW-1050A-H24
are studied. The square specimens have an area of interest of 300*300mm2 and
a thickness of 2.5mm. The blast loading is generated using free air blast (FAB)
and explosive driven shock tube (EDST). A numerical finite element model (FEM)
using the commercial ...

Full-field deformation measurements of aluminum plates under free air blast loading Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Assessment of the structural dynamic response caused by an explosion is complex due to the high velocity impact, the transient nature of the deformation and the interactions between the structure and the pressure wave. This paper deals with full-field measurements of aluminum plates under free air blast loading conditions. Forty grams of explosive material C4 is detonated at a stand-off-distance of 250 mm and two synchronized high-speed cameras ...
Influence of EBR on the structural resistance of RC slabs under quasi-static and blast loading : experimental testing and numerical analysis Universiteit Gent
Flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) structures with externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) using carbon fibre-reinforced polymers (CFRP) has in recent years received increased interest from specialists, particularly when dealing with protective structures against terrorist or accidental blast loading. Although a significant number of studies have been conducted on the failure modes of the bonded interface for quasi -static ...
Numerical modeling of brittle mineral foam in a sacrificial cladding under blast loading Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Cellular materials, such as aluminum foams, have proven to be excellent energy absorbents. They can be used as crushable core in sacrificial cladding (SC) for blast load mitigation. In this study, the blast absorption capacity of a brittle mineral foam-based SC is investigated through finite element modeling using the LS-DYNA software. The experimental set-up used consists of a rigid steel frame with a square cavity of 300 mm x 300 mm in the ...
Experimental and numerical study of pultruded composite tubes under blast loading Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In this paper, the failure of a pultruded glass fiber reinforced composite tube subjected to axial impact load transmitted by a small attached mass exposed to blast load is discussed. A numerical simulation is developed with LS-DYNA and is validated with experiments carried out on a ballistic pendulum by comparing the transmitted impulse by the explosive and crushed distance of the composite tube. The air blast is simulated using Eulerian ...
