  1. 1. Finite-Element Analysis of Cryogenic Pressure Vessels Under Blast Loading

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Casper Liavåg; [2023]
    Keywords : Cryogenic Pressure Vessel; Blast; Blast Loading; Pressure Vessel; Launch Infrastructure;

    Abstract : The behavior of cryogenic double-walled pressure vessels, such as thoseused in space launch vehicle infrastructure, under blast loading is a somewhatunderstudied topic. This is of interest due its implications on, among otherthings, launch site design and safety in the event of a launch vehicle failure. READ MORE

  3. 2. Numerical simulations of shear reinforced concrete beams subjected to blast loads

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Anton Frank; Andreas Fristedt; [2021]
    Keywords : Numerical simulations; shear reinforcement; blast loads; dynamic shear failure; Numeriska simuleringar; tvärkraftsarmering; luftstötvåg; dynamiskt skjuvbrott;

    Abstract : Historical accidents and experimental investigations have made apparent that blast loaded concrete members are prone to fail in brittle shear rather than a ductile flexure mode. Air blasts from accidental detonations or explosives may cause severe damage to buildings and infrastructure and it is of great importance that load carrying members can withstand the impulse that arise to avoid progressive collapses.

  4. 3. Inelastic Capacity of Pipe Rack Structures

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper; Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik

    Author : Adam Halvorsen Stålmarck; [2015]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Steel structures in an offshore processing environment must be designed for an accidental explosion event. The current verification procedure implemented at Aker Solutions (AKSO) enforces an elastic single degree of freedom (SDOF) analogy to implicitly account for dynamic effects in linear static FE analyses.

  5. 4. Shear Strength of Reinforced Concrete Beams subjected to Blast Loading : Non-linear Dynamic Analysis

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Abbas Zangeneh Kamali; [2012]
    Keywords : Non-linear finite element analysis; Shear Strength; Reinforced Concrete; Normal Strength Concrete; Blast loading; Explicit Dynamic analysis; Design codes;

    Abstract : The experimental investigations performed on the behaviour of reinforce concrete elements subjected to blast loading have revealed that the shear mechanisms and ductility play important roles in the overall response and failure mode of such structures. The main aim of this master thesis is to study the possibility of using finite element method as a tool for predicting the dynamic response of blast loaded reinforced concrete beams and evaluation of their shear strength.
