Analysis of a car door subjected to side impact

Author: Long, Christopher Robert Date: 2016 The study presented in this thesis focuses on the response of a side impact beam located in a car door to impact loading in close conformation to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 214 (FMVSS 214) standard. The side impact beam is ... Read more
Changes in material characteristics of AISI 430 stainless steel plates subjected to repeated blast loading

Author: Shangase, Thobani Paul Date: 2017 Structures deform at high strain rates and temperatures when exposed to impulsive loads. To accommodate the macro change there are microstructural changes that occur, i.e., grain morphology and shear banding. Most studies report on macroscopic ... Read more
An experimental and theoretical study on the effect of strain rate on ductile damage

Author: Weyer, Matthew Date: 2016 Simulation of fracture in ductile materials is a challenging problem, since it typically occurs at length scales that are orders of magnitude smaller than that of the structures in which the fracture is occurring and, hence, difficult to ... Read more
An experimental investigation into the anisotropic behaviour of bovine femoral cortical bone

Author: Roginsky, Andrew Date: 2017 To increase our level of knowledge of the human body for various applications, the behaviour of cortical bone needs to be understood. To understand and model the behaviour of cortical bone, knowledge of the strain rate dependent behaviour ... Read more
The influence of charge geometry on the response of cylinders to internal air blasting

Author: Davids, Sean Date: 2016 The effect of charge geometry on the structural response of right circular cylinders, subjected to internal blast loading, was investigated. Thin-walled, seamless 304 stainless steel cylinders were subjected to blast loads from partially ... Read more
An investigation of the response of different materials to blast loading

Author: Lee, Wei-Chi Date: 2012 This dissertation reports on the results of an experimental and numerical investigation into the response of different materials to air-blast loading. Mild steel, armour steel (Armox 370T and 440T), Aluminium alloy 5083-H116, Twintex and ... Read more
The response of concave singly curved fibre reinforced moulded sandwich and laminated composite panels to blast loading

Author: Ghoor, Ismail B Date: 2018 Composite materials are increasingly being used in a wide range of structural applications. These applications range from bicycle frames and building facades to hulls of marine ships. Their popularity is due to the high specific strength and ... Read more
The response of partially-confined right-circular cylinders to internal blast loading

Author: Ozinsky, Adam Date: 2012 This report presents results of an experimental and numerical investigation into the response of partially-confined, thin-walled, stainless steel cylinders subjected to internal blast loading. "Partial-confinement" refers to an enclosure that ... Read more
