Structures under Synergetic Effects of Combined Blast and Impact Loads: A State-of-the-Art Review

Table 8

Summary of different parameters and respective effects on metal-foam Sandwich panels prone to combined blast-fragment impact loads.

Author (s)	Analysis method	Parameter lists	Remark
Santosha et al. [22]	FEA (LS-DYNA)	Single-plate (SP) thickness	Increasing thickness of SP minimizes displacement values
		(i) SP 4 (t = 4 mm)
		(ii) SP 6 (t = 6 mm)
		(iii) SP 8 (t = 8 mm)
		Sandwich metal plate (SMP) thickness	Even though increases in thickness of SMP significantly minimize displacement values, it was not effective in decreasing acceleration
		(i) SMP 10 (t = 10 mm)
		(ii) SMP 12 (t = 12 mm)
		(iii) SMP 14 (t = 14 mm)
		Sandwich foam plate (SFP) density	Increasing SFP density results in a decrease in nodal velocities and accelerations
		(i) SFP 0.42 (ρ = 0.42 g/cm^3)
		(ii) SFP 0.49 (ρ = 0.49 g/cm^3)
		(iii) SFP 0.70 (ρ = 0.70 g/cm^3)
