| Abstract | This research studied about design and test bomb shield for military applications. The
numerical models were used to determine shape and thickness in each layer of bomb
shield by using transient elastic analysis. Normally reflected blast parameters for TNT
chart was used to calculate blast pressure and time duration. The specimen was
considered fail when its strain was over the yield strain. The numerical models of
cantilever beam were verified with the exact solution and the numerical models of
bomb basket were compared the results with numerical model and experimental result
from the previous work. Each layer of bomb shield was separately modeled and then
superimposed to determine the total designed blast load resistance. The test results
showed that bomb shield which double layer of steel grade DILLIDUR 400V or
RAEX 400, 6mm thickness and V-shape at the front layer can be designed by using
numerical model based on transient load analysis and linear properties of material to
resist blast load 20.0-lb TNT explosive which is concealed 50cm underground and can
be applied to install beneath the military or other vehicles that still can be movable. |
