Dynamic compressive behaviour of cellular materials is crucial to their applications in
energy absorption, ballistic mitigation and blast/impact protection. The recent research …

This work presents results from a numerical investigation on the influence of fluid-structure
interaction (FSI) on the dynamic response of thin steel plates subjected to blast loading. The …

This paper presents an analytical study of the effect of the gradient in quasi-static plateau
stress on the dynamic behavior of graded cellular rods under impact loading. Finite element …

The impulse imparted by a blast wave to a freestanding solid plate is studied analytically
and numerically focusing on the case in which nonlinear compressibility effects in the fluid …

Cellular materials have applications for impact and blast protection. Under impact/impulsive
loading the response of the cellular solid can be controlled by compaction (or shock, see …

Over the past few decades, functionally graded materials (FGMs) have attracted many
research interests. For the cellular material, the variation of the mechanical property may …

The problem of uniform shocks interacting with free-standing plates is studied analytically
and numerically for arbitrary shock intensity and plate mass. The analysis is of interest in the …

Blast pressure wave interaction with an elastic structure is investigated using a numerical
analysis approach, which considers fluid–structure interaction (FSI) within an Arbitrary …

The air-blast response of a sacrificial cladding consisting of a cellular material with a front
face-plate is investigated. The cellular material is sandwiched between a rigid face-plate …

In this paper, Taylor's floating air-backed plate (ABP) model is extended to the case of a
submerged water-backed plate (WBP) within the acoustic range. The solution of the WBP is …
