The purpose of the present work was to compare the well-documented results of experiments on steel rectangular plates subjected to blast loading, carried out by Jones, Uran and Tekin [1], with the explicit finite element analysis (ABAQUS/Explicit [2]) and the simplified analytical solution, based on a kinematic approach. This study was undertaken in order to establish the conclusions concerning the possible application of the simplified approach, and evaluate the capacity of material modelling in ABAQUS/Explicit in a case of extremely high velocities of deformation
There are multiple obstacles associated both with technology and properties of waste ceramic aggregate concrete preventing its wide production and application. In the research programme these limitations were addressed through utilizing steel fibre reinforcement and the phenomenon of internal curing. After laboratory tests of mechanical properties a numerical analysis of composites in question was conducted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
