Blast loading, characterised by the sudden release of energy resulting in high-pressure shock waves, poses significant challenges to modern infrastructure. The ensuing structural response is complex, ...

A new study published in Engineering presents an innovative computational method for predicting the distribution of blast loads on complex 3D buildings using graph neural networks. The research, led ...

Increasingly, explosive blast concerns are driving the design of sites, structures, façades and glazed openings for today’s commercial, institutional and industrial facilities to protect. Driven by ...

ARLINGTON, Va.--Modern body armor better protects warfighters against shrapnel from explosive blasts. However, they still face a hidden threat--the resulting blast pressure and shock wave that could ...

The Office of Naval Research is funding a new project to develop BLAST, the Blast Load Assessment Sense and Test technology. This system, once created, will help identify potential traumatic brain ...
