A study on mesh size dependency of finite element blast structural analysis induced by non-uniform pressure distribution from high explosive blast wave

Accurate computational blast analysis can be an effective replacement for costly blast field test. HFPB (high fidelity physics based) blast analysis method including high strain rate dependent material models and appropriate blast wave models is a representative precise blast analysis method. HFPB blast analysis method can be used for various analyses such as structural analysis, retrofitting design analysis, fragmentation analysis, and energy...
