Abstract: In the present study, an innovative sacrificial system, comprising hollow tubes, for resisting blast load, is analyzed on a RC panel using the three-dimensional (3D) nonlinear finite-element software ABAQUS/Explicit. A ...

Abstract: An innovative sacrificial system consisting of hollow metal tubes as the energy-absorbing core was analyzed through three-dimensional (3D) finite-element analysis. The Johnson-Cook (J-C) plasticity model along with the J-C ...

Abstract: Dynamic response of shallow buried tunnel with three different cross sections subjected to surface blast loading using LS-DYNA version R10.1.0 is investigated. Multimaterial arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (MM-ALE) is employed ...
