 Part A (1 - 2 July 2013)

Over a period of two days lectures will be presented on the following topics:

  • Introduction and general considerations
  • Quasi-static approximation
  • Elementary impact and stress wave considerations
  • Energy-absorbing systems
  • Human impact injury criteria
  • Structural crashworthiness
  • Blast effects and design requirements
  • Loading on structures caused by external air blast
  • Pressure-impulse diagrams and their applications
  • Dynamic response and single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) analysis methods
  • Analysis and design of ductile elements under blast loading
  • Examples using spreadsheet analysis tools
The ‘hands-on’ sessions require the use of a Windows compatible laptop computer. It is advisable to bring one with you, if at all possible, preferably with Microsoft Office 2007 installed.

 Part B (3 - 4 July 2013)

Over a period of two days lectures will be presented on the following topics:
  • Introduction
  • Dynamic properties of ductile materials
  • Failure, perforation and post-severance response of structures
  • Energy-absorbing and sacrificial-cladding systems
  • Sandwich structures
  • Dynamic buckling of structures
  • Scaling and experimentation
  • Two-degree-of-freedom analysis methods
  • Analysis and design of non-ductile elements under blast loading
  • Introduction to MDOF methods
  • Internal loading of structures
  • Damage-vulnerability relationship
  • Examples using spreadsheet analysis tools

The ‘hands-on’ sessions require the use of a Windows compatible laptop computer. It is advisable to bring one with you, if at all possible, preferably with Microsoft Office 2007 installed.
