"Blast response and multi-objective optimization of graded re-entrant c" by Feng Jiang, Shu Yang et al.
Explosion threat has a devastating impact on buildings, warships, vehicles and human lives, which puts forward urgent requirements for the development of explosion protection systems. In this study, a sandwich protection system against close-range blast loads containing graded re-entrant circular (REC) auxetic core was proposed, and its blast-resistance performance was investigated based on the numerical methods validated by the field blast test results in the literature. Numerical results showed that compared with the conventional re-entrant (RE) core with the same mass, the REC core can redu...
