miniBLAST: a novel experimental setup for laboratory testing of structures under blast loads
Ahmad Morsel, Filippo Masi, Emmanuel Marché +3
We present a novel experimental setup called miniBLAST, which enables systematic and repeatable laboratory tests of structures subjected to blast loads. The explosive source is bas…
