An explosive driven shock tube-based laboratory scale test for combined blast and fragment impact loading Universiteit Gent Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This work is a part of a larger research effort to better understand the combined effect of the blast wave and fragment impacts following the detonation of a shrapnel bomb. It is known that the time interval Δt, which represents the difference in arrival time between the blast wave front and the fragment at the position of a given target object, has a significant influence on its response mode. This paper presents insights into the establishment ...
