“…The investigations into the responses of structures due to blast loading have attracted attentions from researchers from all around the world for the past decades (Chen, Louca, & Elghazouli, 2015;Fallah et al, 2014;Geretto, Chung, & Nurick, 2015;Li, Wang, Zhu, Wu, & Zhao, 2014;Ma, Xin, Hu, & Zheng, 2013;Micallef, Fallah, Curtis, & Louca, 2016;Othman et al, 2015;Shen, Lu, Wang, & Zhao, 2010;Spiller, Packer, Seica, & Yankelevsky, 2016;Wang & Xiong, 2015;Zhang, Hao, & Wang, 2015). An experimental and numerical simulation studies to mitigate the effects of mine explosion experienced by the underneath section of an armoured personal carrier by using 'V-shaped' plates of 60°, 90°, 120°, 150° and 180° angles, had been successfully performed (Chung, Langdon, Nurick, Pickering, & Balden, 2012).…”
