Assessment of Protective Structures on the Basis of Their Acceleration Caused by Blast Wave

The purpose this study was to assess the protective structures of different shapes on the basis of their acceleration caused by blast wave. Six variants of models was assessed in the software environment Ansys Autodyn, an explicit tool for modelling the nonlinear dynamics of solids, fluids, gases and their interactions, where the compared parameter was the value of the acceleration of the structures loaded with blast wave. This study represent the second step in the search for optimal shape of protective structure with regard to limitations such as building materials on the base of concrete, low manufacturing cost, modularity and easy transportability and follows the conclusions from the study [11].
