Abstract In 1989, Nurick and Martin published two review papers on the deformation of thin
steel plates subjected to impulsive air-blast loading. The state of the art has progressed …

Fatal threats of fully confined blasts to surface battleships must be minimized to avoid
catastrophic failure such as ship sinking. In the present study, for enhanced blast resistance …

The shock wave generated from a high explosive detonation can cause significant damage
to any objects that it encounters, particularly those objects located close to the source of the …

This paper present the experimental analysis of square mild steel plates subjected to blast
loads in three different degrees of confinement (free air burst, fully vented and fully …

This paper presents the results of experimental and numerical investigations into the
