Abstract

The blast resistance of glass-fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) sandwich structures has been investigated for increasing shock intensity and for multiple blast exposures. In this study, sandwich panels of 1.6 m x 1.3 m were subjected to 30 kg charges of C4 explosive at stand-off distances from 8 m to...
