Steel V-structure blast simulation models

This is the data from the thesis titled:

Response of composite and steel V-structures to localised air blast loading (2023)

This compressed folder contains the files for the steel V-structure blast simulations. This includes all the input files, ie. the air mesh, clamp frames, bolts, and various V-structure geometries. A selection of the input decks is also provided with different charge masses and V-structure geometries. All simulations were performed using LS-DYNA R8.

The first zipped folder titled - Steel_V_structure_blast_models.zip contains four subfolders labelled:

120_32mm_10g_DOMEX

120_32mm_15g_DOMEX

120_32mm_20g_DOMEX

Inputs

- The first three folders are example simulations that can be run.

- The folder labelled Inputs contains the meshed V-structures, the meshed clamp frames, and the meshed air blocks.
