Theoretical Analysis of Blast Protection of Graded Metal Foam-Cored Sandwich Cylinders/Rings

The blast resistance of a sandwich-walled cylinder/ring comprising two metal face-sheets and a graded metal foam core, subjected to internal air blast loading, is investigated. Analytical models are developed for the deformation of the sandwich cylinder with positive and negative gradient cores unde...
