Folded Sandwich Protective Structures against Blast and Impact Loads

In this thesis, novel folded truncated pyramid structures and a bi-directional load-self-cancelling square dome structure are proposed as the core of light-weight protective sandwich structures to resist blast and impact loads. Analytical derivations, numerical simulations, quasi-static and dynamic...
