Numerical Simulation of Force Enhancement by Cellular Material under Blast Load

The cause of force enhancement phenomenon when using cellular material, such as metal foam, for blast protection is discussed using both finite element method (FEM) and analytical method. Finite element (FE) models of cellular material under blast load are presented, in which the blast load is model...
