A lum ped m odel for aerial blast wave propagation and structure interaction
Abstract
A lumped model for aerial explosion shock wave propagation and structural interaction is outlined. Model’s theoretical basis in Compressible Fluid Dynamics, Dimensional Analysis and Structural Dynamics are shortly presented. Application results are shown for a 4-storey reinforced concrete frame building under a shock wave generated by a 100 Kg of T.N.T. explosion at 100 metre distance.
