This method relates the structural response of beams, plates, shells and other structural elements to an applied load with a specific peak pressure and impulse (Westine and Baker, 1975;Westine and Cox, 1975;BRL, 1976) and is recommended by various design codes (Command, 1986; Departments of the Army, 1990;TNO, 1992;USDE, 1992;CCPS, 1996;ASCE, 1997;PDC, 2008;USACE, 2008;Dusenberry, 2010).…”
