Abstract
On-going war and terrorist attacks contribute to a variety of impulsive loading of structures that often result in life changing injury or death. Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and landmines accounted for 1761 deaths in Afghanistan during 2009 [1], with many more casualties as a result from conflict occurring throughout the world.
