Abstract
The dynamic behavior of laminated panels subjected to air blast loading is explained by presenting the experimental and numerical methods. The experimental methods include obtaining the air blast load in laboratory environment, testing the laminated panels against the air blast load and measuring the pressure, strain, and acceleration on the panels. Two different techniques to produce the air blast loading are presented. The pressure, strains, and accelerations are measured on the panels during the tests. The closed-form solutions, finite element method, and differential quadrature method used for obtaining the dynamic behavior of laminated panels subjected to air blast loading are explained in detail. Several examples on the experimental and numerical studies are given. The dynamic behaviors of flat and curved laminated panels are investigated in these examples. The strains and accelerations obtained numerically and experimentally are compared and the results are discussed.
