SUMMARY:Structural loads from high explosive blast: what we know and what 
 we don't know. - Andy Tyas\, University of Sheffield
DTSTART:20210305T150000Z
DTEND:20210305T160000Z
UID:TALK158218@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr Maria Marques de Carvalho
DESCRIPTION:Design of efficient and effective protection against blast loa
 ding from the detonation of high explosive blast requires a firm understan
 ding of the loads that structural systems may be expected to withstand. Bu
 t this sets great challenges for experimental researchers\, as the peak ma
 gnitude of the loading may be >1GPa and the durations are measured in micr
 o- or milliseconds. This seminar will discuss some of the fundamentals of 
 blast loading\, identifying where we have sound understanding of both the 
 mechanisms and magnitudes of loading and where our knowledge is less certa
 in\, setting out the challenges for researchers into blast resistant struc
 tures and materials.\n
