Fluid Structure Interactions for Blast Wave Mitigation

Blast Mitigation Analysis of Semi-Buried Structure

Semi-buried structures are most commonly used at first line of defense along the border between two countries. This demands investigation of their dynamic behaviour under blast loading. Herein, a semi-buried structure with foam sandwiched walls and buttresses to reduce the effect of blast is analysed. The effect of provision of different configurations of buttresses and foam core between two la...

Fluid-based System for Radon Mitigation

Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) recently discovered that a class of inexpensive and biologically benign fluids absorb radon gas with a high efficiency at room temperature, and release radon at slightly elevated temperatures (50-60 OC). This has led to the development of simple and inexpensive devices for continuous removal of radon from air. Such devices offer numerous advantages over convent...

Modeling and Simulation of Interactions between Blast Waves and Structures for Blast Wave Mitigation

Explosions occur in military conflicts as well as in various industrial applications. Air blast waves generated by large explosions move outward with high velocity, pressure and temperature. The blast waves not only incapacitate military and civilian personnel, but also damages buildings, vehicles, and other properties. Hence, there has been extensive research on how to mitigate blast wave effe...

Model Based Engineering of Ground Based Risk Mitigation System

In this paper, we describe how AADLs can be extended by using Colored Petri Nets (CPNs) to simulate the behavior of an avionic system known as the Ground Based Risk Mitigation System (GBRMS). To this end, we provide a set of simple mapping rules that can be used to translate AADL representations of a system to CPN representations. The CPN representation of a system then has been used to simulat...
