Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Panels for Blast and Fragmentation Mitigation; Conference paper

摘要

Panels comprised of honeycomb fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) laminations were evaluated to examine their utility as prefabricated fighting positions. The panels were tested for both their blast, and fragmentation mitigation ability. Static resistance functions were developed using a combination of analytical and laboratory procedures in order to obtain the panels response, the response was implemented into a single-degree of freedom (SDOF) dynamic analysis. Engineered analytical prediction models showed that the panels' response in live explosive blast testing could be predicted. Sand- filled wall panels were subjected to blast and fragmentation loadings in full- scale experiments, but experimental and analytical evaluation indicated that further refinement of the panels design would be recommended.
