Analysis of the SSFRRC composite beam under air blast load
The increasing threat of accidental and intentional explosions in industrial facilities, military infrastructures, and critical civil structures has highlighted the necessity for construction materials with superior resistance to extreme dynamic loads. Conventional reinforced concrete, although widely used due to its strength and durability, exhibits brittle behavior and limited energy absorption capacity when subjected to high-intensity […]
Deformation behavior of super-austenitic stainless steel sandwich panels subjected to air blast and underwater explosion
Super-austenitic stainless steels (SASS), characterized by their high Cr–Ni–Mo alloying content, have attracted increasing attention for structural applications that demand exceptional corrosion resistance, high ductility, and robust energy-absorption capacity. When these advanced alloys are incorporated into sandwich panel configurations—typically consisting of two face sheets and a lightweight core—they offer a promising solution for protective structures […]
