Abstract
Hanssen et al. [1] carried out full-scale close-range blast loading tests of aluminium foam panels. In this paper we simulate the experimental tests in [1] by doing coupled finite element analyses which include the charge and blast wave from the explosion using the non-linear finite element code LS-DYNA [2]. The interaction between the detonation gases and the Lagrangian structure ensures a fully coupled analysis between the loading and response of the structure.
