ABSTRACT.
The presentation will include recent progress in experimental investigations, supported by analytical
and computational predictions, of structures subjected to blast loads. Materials used in the tests
include mild steel plates and sandwich structures of different geometrical dimensions. The range of
blast loads varies from a few grams (‐10 grams) up to many hundreds of kilograms (up to 26000 kg).
The paper will present a comparison of the predictions with the experiments using different case
studies, showing amongst others the following; prediction of deformation and tearing using strain rate
hardening and temperature dependent material properties; post failure motion and fragmentation
damage; scaling of blast loaded structures; and the behaviour of sandwich structures subjected to blast
loads.
