Abstract
The blast wave generated in an explosion imposes a dynamic load on any object in its field. This dynamic load is characterized by a rapidly reached peak value which then decreases as the blast wave decays. The net effect of the load depends both on the nature of the blast wave and on the geometry and construction of the object (Reference 1).
