Deformation of a sandwich plate under CONWEP blast loading

This example shows how to build better structures that resist blast loads by using the blast loading capability in Abaqus/Explicit.

The following Abaqus features are demonstrated:

  • applying CONWEP blast loading,

  • comparing computational results using Abaqus/Explicit and experimental measurements of deformation of sandwich structures under blast loads, and

  • demonstrating a generic example of a nonlinear analysis of a sandwich structure.
