The use of composites in blast-resistant walls

摘要: Abstract: The use of fibrous laminated composites in blast protection is discussed this chapter. Different ply settings, i.e. unidirectional (UD), woven roving (WR) and chopped strand mat (CSM) lamina, are considered. Three examples the composites, viz. strengthening existing corrugated walls their connections, replacement by composite sandwich panels fibre metal laminates (FMLs), discussed. selected to reflect range applicability resistant design which includes offshore, defence marine industries. problem connecting hybrid parts addressed. results included adopted from literature on topic or analyses conducted authors affiliated research group. It settled that can be best used conjunction with other materials. These materials metallic (such as aluminium) non-metallic Balsa wood). Hybrid settings for low moderate loading levels. designing using fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) high-pressure-high-impulse has not yet been fully solved further required propose set-ups eliminate drawbacks current designs.
