In one comprehensive volume, Explosion Blast Response of Composites contains all key information about the effects of explosions, shock waves and detonation products (e.g. fragments, shrapnel) on the deformation and damage to composites. The book considers the blast response of laminates and sandwich composites as well as blast mitigation of composites (including coating systems and energy absorbing materials).

Broken down under the following key themes: Introduction to explosive blast response of composites; Air explosion blast response of composites; Underwater explosion blast response of composites, and High strain rate and dynamic properties of composites; The book deals with an important and contemporary topic due to the extensive use of composites in applications were explosive blasts are an ever-present threat, such as military aircraft, armoured vehicles, naval ships and submarines, body armour, and other defence applications. Also, the growing use of IEDs and other types of bombs used by terrorists to attack civilian and military targets high-lights the need for this book. Many terrorist attacks occur in subways, trains, buses, aircraft, buildings and other civil infrastructure made of composite materials. Designers, engineers and terrorist experts need the essential information to protect civilians, military personnel and assets from explosive blasts.

  • Chapters focus on key aspects including both modelling and analysis and experimental work
  • Written by leading international experts from academia, defence agencies and other organisations
  • Timely due to the extensive use of composites were explosive blasts are an ever-present threat in military applications
