Experimental Validation and Numerical Analysis of a High-Performance Blast Energy-Absorbing System for Building Structures

Experimental Validation and Numerical Analysis of a High-Performance Blast Energy-Absorbing System for Building Structures

The paper presents a full-scale blast testing experimental campaign conducted on an energyabsorbing connector comprising thin-walled inversion tubes as kernel elements mounted in a façade protective panel. LS-DYNA finite element predictions of the global and local deformation/inversion of the panel/...
